Who want's to open their hood to start the car? Best one I've heard all week! Try this!!! If you are getting a voltage pulse at the small wire at the starter,and the car cranks when starter is jumped directly, you can use this! Run 10 ga. wire from the large + conn. on starter to a 4 prong,30 amp relay and a 10 ga. return wire to the s term. Take wire that was on s term and move to relay, add a ground wire to the relay it will work. Put the relay close to the starter,but away from the heat,on firewall. Run wires with factory loom using zip-ties. Now you have a remote,remote,starter linked to your org. keyswitch. A new solonoid with heatsheild is the proper fix. good luck, Bruceerc
