Hey. I am installing my alarm and am doing alright so far but i have become stuck at this one part.for the remote start i have to find the "hood pinswitch" wire and i can only find the "trunk/hatch pinswitch" also there is another wire that just says (-) status output but it doesnt say where it gets connected to. Thanks in advance for the help.

it's pretty easy. It looks like this






and from the DIY network

Two of the wires from the receiver unit must be run forward from the passenger compartment and into the engine compartment. One attaches to a pin-switch (figure G), a safety feature that ensures that, whenever the vehicle's hood is up, the engine is prevented from being started with the remote-control transmitter. In that way, when checking or working on the engine, the vehicle can't be started inadvertently using the remote.


The switch can be mounted in a convenient location at the edge of the engine compartment so that the closed hood compresses the switch. When the hood is lifted, the switch-pin pops up and prevents the engine from starting. We fashioned a small metal bracket to simplify mounting the pin-switch (figure H).
