Removing starter interrupter from car

I purchased a car from a person a few years back. The car had a stock alarm system with auto start and an after market starter interrupter put on it. The latter is located under the dash. The starter interrupter is giving me problems. On the device there are four wires: Red, Black, Green, and White (i believe). The only ones they bothered to connect were the black and red wires to my car. The black wire looks like it's coming from the steering wheel and the red wire leads down to the foot of the car. What are the two wires used for and how can I bypass the device or completely remove the device?

Note the diagram. I wasn't sure of engine litre size? Is this what you have? Hope you can read it?
Sometimes when relay doesn't show terminal numbers, it may mean the relay is soldered into fuse box. I don't know about yours? The load side of relay is that line with arrowhead, when relay is energized that line moves to other terminal and voltage goes to starter motor. and that fuse goes hot. On the control side of relay, left side in diagram,that top wire is voltage, should go hot with key in the crank position, the ground for that side is a chassis ground

    Just to add, starter interrupt is usually for security system, my diagram didn't show that? Usually passlock doesn't interrupt the starter motor? I could be wrong.

REMOVE THE INFO PANEL IN THE CENTER. THE RELAY IS BEHIND THE INFO PANNEL. YOU CAN HEAR THE RELAYS CLICKING. YOU CAN CUT THE WIRE OF THE RELAY TO STOP THE RELAY FROM ACTIVATING THE IGNITION CUT OFF.
IF NO OIL PRESSURE THE ENGINE WILL STOP, CHECK THE OIL PRESSURE. GO TO CORVETTTE FORUM .. NEED SLEEP !

SOURCE: How do I hook-up Sunpro Super tach 2.

I've got an install diagram for that around here somewhere but for now, the trigger wire to run the tach itself goes to the "tach" connection next to the "Bat" terminal on the distributor cap. one wire attaches to your dash lighting so it comes on with the dash lights and dims properly, the other wire is likely a ground. If I don't add to this later, try googling Sun electronics...I am fairly sure they have an install page.

SOURCE: 1988 chevy 3500 runs really bad!

I have the same truck I've been looking for information on a different subject. I am an ASE technician I may know what might be causing your problem. First off the white wire on the coil that goes to nothing is your test wire it's not going to be hooked up unless you are performing a test to ensure that the coil is working. Just changing parts often times does not solve the problem and it can become very expensive and make things worst for the next guy to fix. it's going to be in one of two systems Fuel or Ignition since you just did things to the ignition system I'd start looking there check the firing order needs to know what engine you have before I can give you the firing order. is this a V6? V8 5.7? what all did you replace during your tune up? it could be that one of the plugs are not gaped correctly or tightened down which could cause damage to the head requiring the valves to ground to correct the problem. Your catalytic converter may also be causing the problem one the et hot and melt they start blocking the flow of exhaust. If you would like to read more on that check out this site it has some very good information. http://www.aa1car.com/library/converter.htm

2004 Chevy Trailblazer LT. What is oil path detection?

Your vehicle already has an alarm and immobilizer fitted by the factory and you can't have two! Fitting alarms and remote starters is a skilled job and needs a pro grade scan tool computer. Take it to a local alarm / radio installer. It's not expensive and the job will be done right. The way the OEM equipment works is very complex and needs to be disabled first.

Amazon stuff is 'Sell and Run', you have no warranty or support. At this price, it can't be a quality system. Read the 1 star, 2 star and 3 star reviews and send it back! The 5 and 5 star reviews are 'verified purchases' from people that got it for free and didn't fit it.

2004 windstar wont start plenty of power but wont start no clicking sounds

What year ? For the 2004 model year, the Windstar was renamed the Ford Freestar. Anti-theft light lit on instrument cluster ? Battery good ! How about the battery cables ? Voltage drop test the starting system . Videos on you tube Starter Voltage Drop
Starter System The starting system cranks the engine at a speed fast enough to permit the engine to start.
  • Heavy cables, connectors and switches are used because of the large current required by the starter motor (11002) while it cranks the engine.
  • The amount of resistance in the starting circuit must be kept to a minimum to provide maximum current for starter motor operation.
  • A discharged or damaged battery (10655), loose or corroded connections or partially broken cables will cause slower than normal cranking speeds and may prevent the starter motor from cranking the engine.
The starting system includes:
  • the permanent magnet gear-reduction starter motor with a solenoid-actuated drive.
  • the battery.
  • a starter switch (part of the ignition switch (11572)).
  • the transmission range (TR) sensor.
  • The TR sensor in the starter control circuit prevents operation of the starter motor unless the selector lever is in NEUTRAL or PARK.
  • Starter Relay-Interrupt The starter relay (14N089) interrupt-consists of:
    • pull-in coil and
    • contacts.
    When the ignition switch is in the START position:
    • Current passes through the starterrelay-interrupt from the engine compartment power distribution box to the starter solenoid (11390) .
    • Anti-theft controller module activates relay-interrupt.
    • Pull-in coil in the starter relay-interrupt is activated and pulls the contacts apart.
    The starter relay-interrupt is deactivated when the ignition switch is in the RUN or OFF position.

Starter fusible link

wow no year, or even honda car model stated, amazing...but..
crossing what.?
big lug to big
or big to little terminal.
a key fact that......????????
if the starter runs then all fuses are good in the engine bay.
the main starter is not fused anyway. sorry.

if starter cranks engine, with big outside lug jumped to small terminal
that means the KEY line is failing.

the car has A/T or M/T again, i must guess.... sad that.
the M'/T the key line is interrupted by the clutch switch.
the A/T is interrupted by the PRNDL switch on the tranny
all cars can have an alarm system or other BS, that cuts
this line too. (BS like add on remote starts, etc)\

when you turn the key to start, the key line goes to 12v
and must arrive at the solenoid, if not bingo.
its obvious what is wrong, a dead key line.
find it.
a voltmeter (any made in 50 years) finds this in 30min work.

Won't start

Most likely the alarm cpu or control module. Sometimes the relay between the module and the starter interrupt goes bad, trace the wiring, find the relay, make sure all connections are secure, if so, try replacing the relay. If not the problem, have it towed and have alarm checked out. There are a few other things to check. However, me realistically diagnosing the problem the way you describe would be like someone listening to a motor over the telephone and trying to determine if a cylinder has low compression. Nearly impossible. Without an actual working knowledge of the mechanics involved with your specific auto you will be lost. I could even describe how to by-pass the alarm between starter and battery, but unless I am there I would not suggest doing it by yourself. In any event, find the alarm cpu/module, follow the wiring to the relay that operates starter/interrupt, check wiring and/or replace relay. If this doesn't work, bring it to a good alarm mechanic, shop around and check the BBB for good guys in the business. One last thing, check your battery, make sure the voltage is appropriate and battery connections are secure. Good luck!

Alarm on 2004 kia spectra wont let me start car

If the alarm is aftermarket I would remove it , I see this problem several times a month , take a test light and test for power at the starter signal wire while someone turns the key to crank this is the small gauge wire going into starter,if there is no power at this wire it will not crank ,if you momentarily apply voltage to the starter signal wire it will crank( also check starter signal fuse)(most alarm systems have a starter interrupt system ,and the aftermarket alarms fail after a few years) Alot of people believe there alarm is factory because it was there when they bought it new but dealer do add alarms that are aftermarket to please there insurance companies

I just purchased the vehicle and did a full tune up. Dismantled the alarm set up by the previous owner, but the vehicle has a factory installed alarm as well. It wont let the vehicle start up. The vehicle...

The first thing to do is make sure the battery is fully charged, next is the factory alarm, this alarm is controled by a clicker or can also be turned off by the door lock with the key, now sometimes the switch wears out on the driverside door and will not turn alarm off so try to lock and unlock the passenger door, also the other alarm you removed did you connect the power starter wire after removing. if you look at the steering column after removing covers and lower dash panel you will see wires going to ignition switch, this is where the main wirng for an alarm goes now i think its a yellow wire but you will see the wire cut in half that the way it disables the alarm then they conect to alarm you need to connect the cut wire back together, the two halfs of the wire will be the same color, after that if it doesnt start then we will need to test for power at the starter, have someone hold key in the crank position as if they are starting jeep while they hold key use a testlight to see if you are getting power to the small wire on the back of the starter, if theres power and engine is not spinning then replace the starter, these steps should get this jeep going. one of these is the problem , hope this is helpful, good luck.

My 1999 nissan altima won't start, no crank,not even a click. All light are ok, stereo, wiper, etc. battery is only months old. I pulled out the starter, have it tested at Advance Auto Parts and it worked...

Keep it simple, start with the fuse...put car in neutral see if it starts(neutral safety switch) , then check for corrosion on your starter relay by removing all connections one at a time and lightly rubbing them with sandpaper or a wire brush. You can purchase "purple goop" to cover electrical connections to keep this from occuring.

I need help.....

Try the ignition switch. Or, if it has an alarm, it couold be the starter interrupt (that's what it was on ours). The starter interrupt malfunctioned, so we just disconnected the alarm system.
