if you can, solder and heat shrink the wires. It will save headaches in the future. If there isn't room to solder, use some butt connectors and crimp them tightly and then use electrical tape to tape up all the crimped wires. This will help too:

What parts do you need help with?

Does it have on-board relays?

For the trunk popper, it is easiest IMHO to just grab the output at the switch in the glovebox.

For locks, the harnesses are at the top of the driver side kick panel. The primary color is pink on most all the lock wires you use.

Post more specific questions and we can help more.

Good luck.

Call the 800 #, if its the same one i bought, they told me I needed a relay for the doors, and one for the hatch and on and on. The cheap $60 keyless entry was then reaching into th $100 range and a pita. I spent $200, went to Circuit City, had them install a Python keyless entry alarm system and the pita stuff was theirs to do.

Seems to me that we use reverse polarity locks, unless your car had factory keyless.

what color is the dome light and where would be the best location to get at it? also where would be the best place to get at the starter wires? I am guess in the steering column? not trying to steal this thread, I just never finished hooking mine up and these are the only 2 things I had left to do.

Cant help with the dome light (I dont have one so I never hooked it up).

The crank wire (just one) should be easily accessible in the steering column (at the ignition switch or in the harness in that parallels the steering shaft).

Good luck.
