Default Alarm Install Question

Clifford rs3.5

green (-) lock input
red (+) input for relay coils
blue (+) unlock input

violet/blk - lock/unlock normally open #87
grn/blk - lock output #30
wht/blk - lock normally closed #87A
blu/blk - unlock output #30
brn/blk - unlock normally closed #87A
(I know I need a relay, but which and where do these wires go?)

NOTE: I prefer to do all of wiring on passenger side of vehicle if possible. Thanks!

Into which make/model of car are you trying to install the 3.5? I'm assuming it's a Honda, so here's what you do. Find your lock wires, which are generally a negative pulse. Cut the 3 wire cable (green/red/blue) from the relay that you have. Separate the 3 wires and cut out the red one. Plug the white connector into the alarm brain, and run the green wire to your lock wire, and run the blue wire to your unlock wire. Solder connections and wrap with tape. Done.

After you cut the green/red/blue wire from the relay, toss the relay and forget about the other 5 wires. You don't need 'em.

By the way. You mentioned something about wanting to make your connections on the passenger side of the vehicle? Your lock wires are in the keyless entry module in the driver kick panel.

More questions

STARTER RELAY stuff

1) Where do you guys cut the starter wires? Can you do it close to the starter itself?

2) There is an orange wire that says to wire it to accessory wire that powers climate control system? What's the purpose and where do you guys usually do this?

3) PINK = (+) ignition output
is any ignition okay?

4) PINK/WHT = 2nd ignition accessory output
???

Sorry, first time with a real alarm. Keep in mind that I'm doing this because it HAS to be a good install; hard to find wiring, etc.

Thanks again!

The manual says to use a relay for the "domelight supervision" ... do I have to do that? Where did you guys tap the wire?

</TD></TR></TABLE>All the main hookups for remote start should be made at ign. harness plug, [no need to cut any wires] depin at plug and solder to metal pin then reinstall pin into plug.
The orange wire is acc. so you can run the heater or air.

Pink must go to ign. harness.
2nd ign. only needed if car has 2nd ign.

Ok I checked, the starter cut is in the "brain" so wire the purple and green like they say "cut" the starter wire at the ign. harness plug, you will not need the orange,[acc.] or the 2nd ign. all you need on H3 harness is H3/2,[hood pin ] for alarm. All that said, if you don't want remote start , why get a RSX3.5 94

On the main harness it has:

ORANGE (ground when armed output)
"This wire supplies a (-)500 mA ground as long as the system is armed. This output ceases as soon as the system is disarmed. The orange wire may be wired to an optional Directed Electronics 8618 starter kill relay."

BLUE (multiplex input, zone 4)
"Inputs shorter than 0.8 seconds will trigger the Warn Away response, while inputs longer than 0.8 seconds will trigger the full alarm sequence. If installing an optional Directed Electronics dual stage sensor, connect both the blue and the green wires of the optional sensor to this input. This wire will report Zone 4."

RED/WHT (channel 2, 200mA (-) output)
"When the system receives the code controlling Channel 2, for longer than 1.5 seconds, the red/white wire will supply an output as long as the transmission continues. This is often used to operate a trunk/hatch release or other relay-driven function."

ARE THOSE OPTIONAL? What can I connect it to?

Item Wire Color Polarity Location

12volts white + ignition harness
Starter black/white + ignition harness
Ignition black/yellow + ignition harness
Second Ignition yellow + ignition harness
Accessory white/black + ignition harness
Power Lock green/white - keyless entry module
Power Unlock green/orange - keyless entry module
Notes: The keyless entry module is white in color, and located in the drivers kick panel.
Parking Lights red/black + keyless entry module
Notes: The keyless entry module is white in color, and located in the drivers kick panel.
Door Trigger lt. green/red - OEM alarm plug
Notes: The OEM alarm plug is to the right side of the steering column. The plug is green.
Dome Supervision same as door trigger
Trunk/Hatch Pin blue/black - OEM alarm plug
Notes: The OEM alarm plug is to the right side of the steering column. The plug is green.
Brake Wire green/white + brake switch
Parking Brake
Horn Trigger gray - OEM alarm plug
Notes: The OEM alarm plug is to the right side of the steering column. The plug is green.


This should give you everything you need. On that alarm, take my advice and run the constant +12 volts directly to the battery. your alarm will last longer. good luck.

for the domelight supervision, the manual states a need a relay.

85- blk/wht (from alarm)
86- + 12v
87- domelight supervision polarity (+) or (-)
30- domelight wire

What does 87 go to? Is it grounded?
