Hotwire Wiring questions
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
I used the Hotwire setup on a 2013 Hemi. I wired mine this way and it starts and runs with the factory ignition switch (Dodge Challenger)
The factory ignition switch Has 5 wires :
Red... batt input to ign switch
Blue... run ( ign 1 )
Brown... start ( ign 2, bypass resistor to full feed the coil )
Black... Acc ( powers in RUN and ACC )
Yellow... Start ( ign 2, just to crank the starter motor
I used the Ron Francis wiring , They give you a 4 wire connector to use for the ignition switch, cut the factory plug off and use theirs.
I fused the Battery feed wire to the ignition switch , just like everything protected.
I combined the blue and brown, which gives you hot in crank and run positions, It feeds the fuse panel for circuits that call for a hot in run position and also feeds the Pink wire in the hotwire harness.
The yellow wire /crank feeds to the fuse panel for the neutral/clutch safety switch and starter and also to the yellow wire in the hotwire harness
The Ron Francis fuse panel has terminals for both the crank and ignition 1 , My wires go directly from ignition switch to the fuse panel ,
Then feeds from there to the hotwire harness (two wires and two terminal spades shared for these circuits at the fuse panel)
The hotwire harness has its own feed circuit for the control of the factory style alternator
