I am installing CompuSTAR 2WSS-A(CM3300-V.3) in my 96 Honda Civic.

This is my first alarm install, but i am fairly knowledgeable with wiring. I have wired plenty of stereo systems, power windows, cruise controls, and engine harnesses. I know how to use a multimeter. As i said i am a noob with alarms so bare with me and please don't flame me for trying to learn.

I have a question reguarding the starter kill relay that came with my CompuSTAR system. This system does not have the remote start function. Do i need to wire this relay into my starter? If so why and how do i do it? CompuSTAR does not have very in depth directions. The relay has 5 wires going in/out of it. I have the wiring diagram and it says:

GREEN(in/out spot 86)- to (+) Ignition?
PURPLE(in spot 85)- (-) negative when armed out What is this?
YELLOW(out spot 87a)- Where's this go?
YELLOW/BLACK(out spot 30)- Where's this go?
nothing goes in/out spot 87

I'm assuming this is the starter kill relay from reading on the internet and the breif install manual. So basically all i am asking is how to wire this and an explanation as to why i need to IF i need to? Maybe i don't ... please help a noob out. Thanks in advance.

 

This helped me... thought i'd share and answer my own question...

To go into even more details on this subject, here are the different types of Starter Kill Switches...

meaning the thief can push start it? isn't that what multiple fuel pump kills are for?

 

Since no one else gave you an answer

Hook it up to the ignition instead of the starter.

Dont forget to use the diode that is pictured in your drawings.

Is it better to be hooked up to my ingition compared to the starter? Remember this is my first alarm install and i am learning... Can you explain that to me? Thanks.

 

For more security you would hook it to Starter, Fuel pump, and Ignition.
Using a seperate relay for each.

If I had to choose just one it would be the ignition or fuel pump.

If you have a stick the thief could just push start the car. With the ignition or fuel disabled push starting wont work.
