hello all,
I have installed a remote starter and I tried to hook up the high idle in conjunction with the park lights and the aux button and ran into problems.
I switched the - pulse from the module to a + pulse with the use of a relay.
pin 86 + switch with ign
pin 87 + switch with ign
pin 85 - input pulsed from module
pin 30 + out pusled to dark blue on cruise control
I did not use a diode with the relay because it is normally open and one should not be needed.
I then took the park light wire from the module, attached it to the cold side (wire to ECM) of my high idle swith. I then ran a line from the park light wire from the BCM on the truck, inserted a diode, and conected that to the park light/ECM wire from the module.
I started a FIRE!!!! :eek:
The diode burned hot enough to melt the solder I used to attach it to the other wires with. Was the diode to small or did I screw up?
My thought was that the park light output from the module would turn on the trucks lights and give the ECM a + signal for the high idle. When the remote starter is disabled (while driving or not engaged) and the park lights are turned on, the diode was supposed to "block" the + signal from the park light wire at the BCM from entering the ECM wire or the park light wire on the module.
I have disconnected the trucks park lights from the equation. I am only using the modules park light wire connected to the ECM/cold side of high idle switch. Everything works great.
How do I get my park lights back?
cheers

After thinking about it I think this only happened after the "truck" turned on the automatic park lights and head lights? Could this have screwed things up? Getting a + signal from both sides? What do I do about it?
