    Installing remote starter GMC Safari AWD

    I will be installing a remote starter kit in My 94 safari AWD with the W
    engine.
    I have seen on the net some T harness's for newer models but nothing for
    a 94 Safari.
    Does anyone know where I can find a T harness for the ignition plug?
    Also looking for any other tips Ie the best place to tap into the tack
    etc.

    While I am at it I will offer a tip.
    I installed a cheap remote starter in a 89 bonneville. Worked fine for
    two years.
    I did not install relays for the park lights because I did not need one
    (small load)
    Then I bought a trailer with more lights and not thinking about the
    added load I hooked up the trailer.
    Well one morning while sitting watching TV the car starter engages the
    engine starts with the starter still engaged. In a panic I started
    ripping out wires ten minutes went by before I grabbed a wire cutter and
    in panic cut the battery wire. The starter still works fine two years
    later. (lucky)

    Took me two days too repair the wires that I ripped out and a month for
    the skin to grow back on my hands.

    NEVER EVER I REPEAT NEVER install an after market starter kit without a
    kill switch or fuse and always use relays on all outputs regardless.

    What had happened is the extra load caused a small ten cent transistor
    to short in the remote brain box.

    Been there done that thanks anyway. I can get Bosch relays local for
    cheaper. I am looking for a harness so as to not have to cut the wires
    at the steering colum on the van.

    Why can't you use the run and tap connectors, the one that wraps around the
    existing wire, and the additional wire slides in the hole on the other side,
    and you squeeze the blade down which pierces the insulation.
    Works for me...
