I have an Actron remote starter switch - the kind used to turn the motor over while adjusting valves etc. - not the remote starter via an alarm system. I did a search but keep getting info on the alarm remote starter.


Can anyone school me on how to hook it up?

Thanks

you would need to supply 12v to the small red wire on the starter

Yep. You normally are jumping battery power friom the solenoid and the solenoid-trigger (just because they are right next to eachother).

FWIW, you should be able to jump battery power into the *starter relay* output (normally open) terminal. This relay is in the underhood fusebox (it's a slave to the piggyback solenoid). This is a lot easier to access.

The starter interlock wire is white/pink leading up to the fusebox starter relay as I recall. I cannot remember the color out of the relay's output wire however.
