relay junk, starter kill

[DarkEcho]

i posted this in the stereo forum too but i think it works in the lounge as well and i will get more responses and more people will get ideas so i think this is ok to do [img]smile.gif[/img]

I read Bfrankers starter kill mod,
http://www.bfranker.badz28.com/fbody/starterkill.htm

and his instructions are a little weird... I was thinking about doing this because it sounds SO easy, let me know if I am getting this right...


you get a relay and you cut the purple starter wire.

you take one end of the starter wire (from the ignition) and connect it to the 30 post. then you connect the other part of the cut purple wire to the 87 post (not 87a) then you use a quick splice and splice into the pass. side window up and run that spliced wire to the 86, then ground 85 and thats it.

now every time you hit the passwindow up button (on your driver side door panel) it will throw the amerture for the 30 - 87 posts and complete the circuit, then while holding the window up, you may turn the key and boom ignition.

am i right about this? i dont think i need a diode (nor do i want to learn about why at this point in time.) unless its very simple, i know what they do but why is it necesary in the relay?

I was going to do that exact starter kill but the instruction are way to vague for me and the pics are horrible. You can't tell what is what.

well after trying to follow bfrankers guide i gave up, doesnt seem like its the same BCM as the newer cars... but anyways, this guy tried to help me out and instead... i think he showed me how to hotwire my car... please tell me if im right..

ok
so i found the underhood fuse box, removed the starter relay and i connected a length of wire to the 86 post and the 85 post.
then i connected one of them to the aux battery that is conveniently right there, and then i plugged the relay back into the fuse box. i then took the other coil wire and tapped it to the chassis and BANG!!!! this loud bang happend and freaked me out like whoa... and i tore those mother****ers off there so fast and tried to start my car, it worked... so thank the heavens...

after thnking about it...

i thnk what i did was just started the car like normal, as if i had the key in there right? i mean, the key switched to start sends power to the relay (like my wire from the aux battery post) and then when it grounds out it activates the relay to let the power to the starter solenoid.. basically my switch was my hand moving the neg wire to the ground... right? i think i just almost hot wired my car lol... am i correct in this assumption?
