Identify your wiring system:

Find out the wiring system of your vehicle before you opt for a Keyless Entry Installation.

Get an access to the wires:

You need to remove the panels that are underneath the dash and the steering column to get an access to the wires.

The colour of the wire might be different depending upon the car and the keyless entry system.

Prep Wires:

If you aren’t using certain features like a trunk, chop the wires down to about six inches and tape them to the main harness with black electrical tape. This will prevent them to be a hindrance during the installation.

Connections:

Slightly cut away a small amount of the covering on the wires in your vehicle’s wiring harness. Next, strip the ends of the wires in the keyless system. Now connect all the wires to the stripped area of the car wires. Do not cut any existing wires of the car.

Program the systems:

Now the system is installed and all the connections are secure to program the remote functions. You can program the ignition controlled door locks, the door unlocks pulse, ignition trigger feature, chirp mode, and the passive starter defeat.  You can remote them as per your need. You are done with Keyless Entry Installation.

Thank you for posting! I don’t quite understand what you mean when you say “chop the black wires” If that means “cut them”, I don’t think you should be cutting any wires before you try to figure out which wire goes where. But before you do that, you probably ought to disengage the battery first, so you don’t accidentally short something out.
