Where to connect a remote starter switch

I know this is a dumb question but I've searched and can't find an answer. I know you connect one end to the positive side of the battery, but where do I connect the other end to?

Or do both ends connect to the starter? If so where?

Thanks

I guess you would have to connect one end to the big stud (12v source) and the other to the little stud that the purple wire bolts to. Effectively bypassing your TDM/starter relay.

Thanks. That worked.

I connect mine to a purple wire that runs in a harness from the PCM area down the right side of the motor toward the starter. I scraped some insulation off this wire, again near the PCM so I can hook up the switch from up top and not under the car. The other lead goes to 12V. The switch will trigger the relay to turn the starter on.

I recommend actually wiring it into the Relay and using the Relay as it's designed before your car catches fire. Do you know where the Starter Relay is?

Are you trying to wire in something to work with the Keyless remote?
