For most GM vehicles: The starter solenoid is
located on top of the starter motor housing. The
Remote Starter Switch is connected to terminals
on the end of the solenoid. Connect one lead
from the Remote Starter Switch to the large ter-
minal to which the battery is connected. Connect
the remaining lead to the small terminal labeled
"S".

manual for your specific vehicle for proper
