As the title says I'm putting in a remote start. I've installed quite a few but I'm used to older cars that are not as sensitive as newer cars are. So that said I'm used to looking at directions and wiring diagrams and getting it done. Got stuck on the parking lights. So off to the Internet and a trusted site the 12volt says you have to us a relay on the switch to break a wire while rs-ing. And if somebody finds it, it doesn't make any sense. Now finally brings me back here and someone else posted wire colors which helped since they found wire in kick. Great got past that wire and all is good. But along the way to test a wire you have to hook up voltage to test it to make sure it does what it's supposed to do. Now I say this after I've found said wire with a multimeter. Well I applied voltage to the supposed +headlight wire on back of the switch. Guess I wasn't supposed to do that because now it's jacked up the headlights. To be specific with the switch in the striaght up off position with no key in the ignition car is off the headlights will come on by themselves. I would say I burnt something inside of the switch cause I thought i got a wif of cooked electronics from it. To make it even more funny I have to turn the switch to the auto position to get the hl's to turn off. The other selections work, parking and lights on. I've took the back off the switch to see if I could do anything but it's alot simpler in there than I thought it be. I'm sure there's a little board in it that I can't get to. I've got another switch from ebay ordered but that's days away. Im really hoping that its just the switch and that I didn't fry the body control module of something else. Long post but does anybody have any thoughts??
