11 © 2008 Directed Electronics. All rights reserved. How to find the starter wire with your multimeter: Set to DCV or DC voltage (12V or 20V is fine). 1. Attach the (-) probe of the meter to chassis ground. 2. Probe the wire you suspect of being the star ter wire.
12 © 2008 Directed Electronics. All rights reserved. ➤ 12V switched ignition wire The ignition wire is powered when the key is in the run or start position. This is because the ignition wire powers the ignition system (spark plugs, coil) as well as the fuel delivery system (fuel pump, fuel injection computer).
13 © 2008 Directed Electronics. All rights reserved. Note: Many T oyotas and other Asian vehicles, send a (-) signal from the switch to a relay . The relay then sends (+)12V to the bulbs.

15 © 2008 Directed Electronics. All rights reserved. Making your wiring connections Before making your connections, plan how your wires will be routed through the vehicle. For instance, the red 12V constant input and the remote start igni- tion wires are often routed together to the ignition switch har ness.
