Hey y’all,

Been working on tracking down my intermittent starting issues. Today on the docket is taking out this relay the PO installed. It makes the window lock work as a starter lock, so when the button is engaged, no start. I finally found the damn thing, but am now wondering where these wires were originally routed. See attached photo, red wires are coming from the starter, blue connects to another wire at a harness by the door.

TIA

That would be what's known as "the poor mans anti-theft device"
No idea how they wired it in, perhaps the manual can help?

Went ahead and tore out this relay today. I reconnected the red wires and bingo bango no more poor man’s security system. Hoping this helps with my intermittent click-no-starts, but a thorough inspection of the starting circuit is on the docket for later this week.
