I'm installing a remote start and I just was wondering where I could find the coil wire at its location or whatever. Thank you, I know it's white but that's about it. Lol

Hi,

The vehicle has three ignition coils. When you open the hood, they will be to the left mounted on top of the engine. See pic 1 below.

The ignition coils are mounted on an ignition control module. The module has a wiring connection going to it.

Let me know if this helps or if you have other questions.

Take care,

joe

Okay, so what wire would I hook my remote start up to? Because it says coil wire so I don't know what wire that one would be I guess is my real question.

Hi,

I would need to see the schematic/directions they provided. Is it possible for you to get a few pictures and upload them for me to see? Based on what you're asking now, it doesn't sound like it is related to the coils.

Let me know.

Joe
