Padgett Posted March 17, 2016 Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 Trying to rebuild the wiring mess in my GTP (I really hate crimp connectors) and came across a connector with nothing in it, a whole bunch of black wires all going to a single ground, a fuse, and a relay bridging what appears to be a big yellow wire that was cut, a blue and a black wire spliced, and going to the relay terminals. I *think* this is the big yellow that feeds power from the ignition switch to the starter interlock on the clutch pedal. Is this correct ? Must admit I am used to an ignition switch being on the steering column and not to the right of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imp558 Posted March 17, 2016 Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 Yellow or Violet 10 GA would be typical for a starter. Why not unplug the relay and try to start it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White93z34 Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 Its the yellow wire that seems to be cut and goes into the black and blue wires and those likely go to some alarm unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padgett Posted March 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 That is what I thought but you have never seen so many splices and connectors and extraneous cables as in this dash & am just starting to get it unraveled. - alarm - Kenwood radio - JVC changer with separate control box and remote display - Panasonic powered subwoofer with remote controls - PAC SWC box (still have not found the end of the IR cable). - Relay and fuse panel behind the fuse panel behind the glove box. Tried jumping the relay and starter worked so probably that, just thought I'd check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imp558 Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 could the alarm be the remote start? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padgett Posted March 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 Doubt it, I see no RF module, just an empty connector and a while bunch of wires going to ground. The yellow wire seems to go to the clutch interlock so a remote start would also need to depress the clutch. Have a RKE to add when I get this mess straightened out but all my small diameter heat shrink has disappeared. (I prefer to solder connections).

Heartbeat1991 Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 It's more likely an alarm. A remote starter on a manual would feed to the purple side past the clutch switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padgett Posted March 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 Wiring does not look professional so could be anything. Is just a mess. Did not find any horn, speaker, or siren connection so suspect is a starter interlock that is supposed to have a dongle but has just been shorted. Off to get some heat shrink, can't find my small diameter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
