For Those Of You With Turbo Timers or Remote Start, Driver's Side Door Pin Question Options

[Coomer]

Hi,
I have my remote start in my car and it's working great, but I've kinda got a minor thing on my hands that's bugging me. I have a feature on my remote start where I can press a button, turn my ignition to off and take out the keys, and my car will stay running for ten minutes or until the brake is pressed or until I press the button to turn it off.

Anyway, our cars have the automatic-off headlights that turn off when the car is turned off and the driver's side door is opened. When the passenger side door is opened, it will not turn off the headlights.

What I want to do is find which wire I need to send ground or +12 volts to in order to turn off the headlights when my car turns itself off. My alarm has a wire that sends out a ground signal when the remote start shuts down, so I could easily send +12 volts or a ground signal to a wire, I just need to know which wire is the door pin for only the driver's side door. I know that the red and white wire is for both doors by the way.

Does anyone know which wire I need to tap into?

i think i know which wire...gimme a few and i will go check


what i would say to make it easier...just turn off the light manually...turn them off by hand...

i love that feature tho - you cant leave ur lights on unless u turn them back on after the car is off. you also cant lock the car when the keys are in the ignition - gotta love em'

and you can unlock the passanger door by turning the key twice

So does anyone know how to solve my problem? I still haven't figured this out by the way.

well I don't know - the reason why I don't know is 'cause people do this **** for me....

- what I would do is go to Circuit City, and talk to one of the "younger" guys

who probably have a tuned-import and for like a McDonalds meal they would tell you

and actually show you where/how to do it...!!!!

IF they still dont' help you, I will ask one of "MY" installers at work......

[Coomer]

I've asked around already, and since the wire is not listed in any of the installation wiring listings, no-one has been able to help me. I think that I'll maybe just test the wires down in my kick panel tonight and see if I can find the wire myself.

What about tapping directly into the driver side door pin switch?

The other place you can tap into is the junction box underneath the steering column. You should see a big integrated relay box--will need to remove the plastic trim panel around the fuse box cover. Pull the relay off and there will be a 12 (3-6-3) pins connector on the junction box. Pin # 6 should work also and it's a negative trigger..
