Babyjuice Posted April 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 It says it does so I spliced the blue wire and connected the remote. But there are two different blue wires ones blue and one is darker blue Quote BABYJUICE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Babyjuice Posted April 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 What color is the ignition wire ? Red orange or black? I don't have acces to a computer right now Quote BABYJUICE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supercharged DCs Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Ignition is normally red. Quote Bassless once again.

Babyjuice Posted April 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Got it hooked up to the ignition and it works! Thanks! Only downside is the whole car sounds like a rattling can Quote BABYJUICE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01 S-10 Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 You may have had it wired to the power antenna wire which is also typically blue with a white stripe Quote TDH FTW !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
