Control Harness (All wires are the smaller 18 AWG size)
9. Violet Wire Hood Pin Switch Control Harness
The hood pin switch MUST be installed with the AutoCommand®. It pre-
vents operation of the AutoCommand® when the hood is open. Connect the
VIOLET wire to the hood pin switch using
the red connector.
Note: If you already have a hood pin
switch which is being used by a
car alarm system, you may share
the wiring -- but be sure to diode
isolate each wire going to the
hood pin switch with the bands
of diodes pointing towards the
pin switch as follows:
10. Orange Wire Brake Shut-off Control Harness
The ORANGE 18 gauge wire will disable the AutoCommand
®
when the brake
pedal is pressed down. This is an added anti-theft safety feature. This connec-
tion is usually made under or behind the brake pedal linkage at the switch.
Connect the ORANGE to the wire that receives +12 volt only when the brake
pedal is pressed down. Any +12 volt input on this wire will shut off the Auto-
Command
®
. In some cars, the ignition must be on to see the power at the brake
wire. This wire must be hooked up. This is a critical safety feature. This hook-
up is also required for other options discussed later.
