FACTORY ALARM SHUT DOWN WIRE (FASD) (-)
If your vehicle is equipped with a factory alarm system (as most new model vehicles with a factory keyless entry are) and you can disarm your factory alarm by using your key in the door. Check the owner’s manual or contact your dealer to see if your vehicle is so equipped. Probe for a small gauge wire (usually found in the driver’s side kick panel) that shows (-) ground and the GREEN light will glow bright when the door lock
cylinder is turned to the unlock position using the key and will show +12V and the RED light will glow bright before turning the key. NOTE: Some factory disarm wires remain neutral (both the GREEN and the RED lights will be dimly illuminated) before you turn the key to unlock instead of +12v positive. Connect the RED WITH BLACK STRIPE wire from the 16-pin harness to this wire. See chart, page 21 for listing by manufacturer.
