'99 "wait to start" wire

Mmmmk... I read through some other topics on remote starters and such but I never found what I was looking for (assuming they are different on different years)<br><br>From past experiance with my SS, the wire colors change every frickin year<br><br>anyway, I am having my local Circuit City install a Viper alarm with remote start... he knows everything for hooking it up except what color/location the &quot;wait to start&quot; light is so that he can make the alarm's remote start system can... wait to start<br><br>so what color/ where is the wire?

According to my '02 manual, the wire from the ECM Wait To Start indicator driver to the &quot;wait to start&quot; indicator is OR/BK (orange with a black stripe), 18 gage. Hope this helps.

Re:'99 "wait to start" wire

In my experience, the wires can vary a great deal from what they're &quot;supposed&quot; to be. Best thing would be to try to find the wires directly behind the lamp module. You might have to remove the dash trim panel. <br><br>A possible alternative (maybe even better) would be to pick up the signal at the relays for the intake air heaters on the left inner fender. They should be &quot;high&quot; while energized just the same as the display bulb.<br><br>Hope that helps, keep us posted on your progress. I have a remote start alarm I originally purchased for my previous vehicle, and would like to put it on my Dodge sometime. Also in the works is a turbo timer.<br><br>Vin

Re:'99 "wait to start" wire

I hear that about the turbo timer <br><br>The alarm/remote start im installing has a feature where you can activate the remote start while the vehicle is running, then take the key out... effectively becoming a &quot;turbo timer&quot;<br><br>but I still think a nifty lookin turbo timer is in the works =P<br><br>as it happens, the CC tech didnt read ALL of the instructions, where it, in plain english, talks about the orange wire with the black stripe as mentioned by several people<br><br>thanks for all your help =)
