Hello all, I am in the process of hooking up a new remote starter for my ride. I have a Avital 4103 by Directed. The wire from the remote started is as follows:
H1/9 WHITE (+/-) LIGHT FLASH OUTPUT
Important: Do NOT connect this wire to a negative
vehicle light flash wire before changing the programming
jumper to the negative polarity position or damage
to the vehicle light circuit may occur.
As factory configured, the H1/9 WHITE wire should be connected to
the (+) parking light wire. If the light flash polarity jumper is moved to
the (-) position (refer to the Programming Jumper section of this guide),
this wire then supplies (-) 200mA output.
I have connected this to the (brown) wire as described in most information I received on the internet which is located by the light switch control. However, when connected and attempted to start the lights did not work. So I used the jumper. Then the lights worked fine. But the remote starter starts and only runs for 10 seconds and shuts off. Originally I thought I had another issue and spent hours troubleshooting that issue. But what I found is that when I removed the jumper the vehicle stayed running and the remote start runs fine. But the lights do not. I am wondering if I have the wrong wire in the light switch.
What I found online was this:
Car Parking Lights Wire (+): Brown
Car Parking Lights Wire Location: At the Vehicle Light Switch
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you
