Hotwire Wiring questions
OK I just verified my harness. I don't have:
d.
Blue – Brake light output to
rear brake lights. - Needed? Why
e.
Purple – Backup lamp output to rear backup lamps. - Needed? Why
f.
Orange – Overdrive off Switch to momentary ground. (optional, automatic only) - N/A
I'm also removing these as there in my body harness from American Autowire:
j.
Grey/Black – Oil Press Gauge (open on both ends for you to hook up your own sending unit) - OK
k.
Tan/Black – Engine Temp Gauge (open on both ends for you to hook up your own sending unit) - OK
That just leaves:
a.
Red – 12 Volt Hot at all times. (direct to battery) - OK - Running this to a battery source.
b.
Pink – 12 Volt Run and start. (ignition key on position) - OK
c.
Yellow – Ignition start. (ignition key cranking position only) You must use the included
starter solenoid wiring for the engine to start properly. (
Mopar muscle cars: You will need to use a momentary push-button starter switch with this wire on one post and 12v on the other post, the dual ignition circuit of a late 60’s to early 70’s Mopars will not work with the Hemi system) - Is there a work around? I really don't want to use a push to start button and a key. I'd rather just use the key.
g.
Blue/White – A/C compressor clutch. (12 volts to activate compressor) - OK, easy enough.
h.
Black – Clutch safety ground. (manual trans) This must be grounded in when the clutch is pushed in or in Park/Neutral on a non-electronic
transmission. - OK
i.
Green – Speedometer output to gauge. - OK, but can I use the output from the Viper T56? I believe the T56 output might be 5v as I had to install a converter. NO big deal, I'll use whatever one works best.
Do the Pink and Yellow wires get attached to the column wiring? I guess I'm confused as my American Autowire harness has an ignition wire and alternator wire. Figures the last few wires are confusing me.
