ok i figured out hot to get power into the turn light relay. I found a diagram in the manual that says you should tap it into the 12 volt power wire in the same harness. Would this work

This should help with the column wiring. Thanks to Andy Green for putting this together.

By the way the reason i want to take off the old remote start is because i bought the car used and i cant get the remote.
And the reason im not using the factory alarm is because it doesnt work right.
The alarm im working with is an autopage 850 LCD
The yellow wire is the ignition wire.
It has been split into 1 yellow wire and 1 purple wire. Im assuming that the purple wire would lead to the other remote start, am i right?
And all i have to do is disconnect the purple wire from the old remote starter and splice mine in the same place right?
I would recommend leaving the purple wire undisturbed for now. The reason I say this is in case the old remote starter has some security starter-kill feature of its own (e.g. a fuel-pump shutoff) that could get in the way if it doesn't detect things occurring in the right order in your car. By leaving the purple wire connected, it will detect the starter voltage and (most likely) assume that you are using your key to start the car.
There is also a red wire that is split into 2 red wires and an orange wire that is split into 2 orange wires.
My new system has 1 ignition input and 2 outputs. Could the old system be similar and that'* why there are 3 wires taped into under my dash?
I need to know if the car has an electrical or a mechanical nuetral start switch
Also if i need to make a relay for my driving lights how would i go about doing that

Ok thanx . Ill probly get to more of this alarm thing friday when i have the time. The factory alarm will only work if i diconnect the battery then lock my doors. IF you try to open the door without first unlocking it it will go off. then when you turn the alarm off and lock it it wont go off again.

Wait a second here...
When your alarm goes off, what exactly does it do? The factory alarm honks the horn and flashes the exterior lights. If you have something else happening instead (e.g. an electronic siren going off), that'* not a factory alarm. Reason I say this is that if somebody installed one of those cheesy little voltage-sensing alarms instead, that'll be set off by lifting the outside door handle, because that turns on the interior lights and the little light around the door key lock. The resulting voltage drop can set off a current-sensing alarm, such as a cheap aftermarket unit. A factory alarm can only be triggered by _opening_ the door.
If that'* the situation here, you're going to need to find and yank that stupid old aftermarket alarm. It'* not the factory setup, and it probably will play havoc with your new system as well.
then when you turn the alarm off and lock it it wont go off again.

did you find the brain for the old remote start? normally on the column or around it and for you parking light flas it get tapped in the that system so by the headswitch i would connect it
and whatever you do you alarm has the option of a horn honk HOOK IT UP becasue the siren is pretty weak
the instant trigger for the alarm gets hooked up to the dome light supervision circuit and mount the shock sensor on the column interlace it with wires around it for the best operation (wires are better for vibration) on my car the didnt use a VATS by-pass they just used a resisitor
well hope the helps??
remember dont cut any wires just clamp over them
