XR4100 series remote starter install. Completed!

[Drewmon]

I finished installing my remote starter system in my XR4140HC today. I'll be writing up a few notes with wiring locations and color codes for anyone who wants to do the same. I search everywhere on here and couldn't find any real info, so I'll start it. Give me a couple days. Not to bad for under $100 and has 2way remotes so it tells you if it started.



And YES, it senses the glow plugs to know when to start.

ok, here are the details:

I bought a 2-way remote start system, crimestopper RS7-G5 from amazon for under $80 shipped.

There were 10 total wires that needed connection, including the ground wire. Here are the wires and locations I used in my XR 4100 series LS Tractor.

I will list the in the following order: Remote start wire = Tractor wire , location in tractor

Harness 1:
Horn (yellow) = White wire on the horn switch
Ground (black) = any ground point on tractor
Tach (red/white) = Blue (#2) on the 16 pin connector on the back of the dash cluster
Parking lights (white) = green wire on the corner light switch (below steering wheel) I used these lights instead of the parking lights
Brake Switch (purple) = Green wire, above the brake pedal
Parking light power input (red/black) = I connected this to one of the red wires (part of the other remote system wiring harness) that connect to the ignition switch
Glow Plug (Pink) = Dark Green (#2) on the 12 pin connector on the back of the dash cluster

Harness 2:
12v Battery (red 2 wires with fuses) = Black/white wire on the back of the ignition switch
Starter (brown) = red/yellow on the back of the ignition switch
12V switched Ignition (Pink) = white/red wire on back of the ignition switch


That's all the connections needed. The default config on the remote start will check the glow plugs before starting, will start in about 30 seconds, will run for 20 minutes before shutting off by itself.

** notes:

I changed the wait time to start to 15 seconds, set it to 2-way remote so it will tell me if it started or not, changed the start button sequence on the remote for 2 presses to begin the remote start system. when you get in the tractor, insert the key, turn it to run (not start), then press the brake pedal to cancel the timer and use the tractor normally.

If you use the parking brake, it will not start because it activates the brake pedal switch.

Nice job - on the installation and the write-up.

I presume you didn't post twice on purpose and notice several 'Double Posts' over this weekend so it looks like that 'bug' is back.

 

[Drewmon]

Nope.... I just post this once. I don't see double posts myself.

 

[Spanner]

That's the bug. This is Post #6 on my screen. You have Post #'s 1, {2&3} & 5 so far...

I wonder what others see?

And I got 2 at #4 but I deleted one then above my #6 posted itself twice, again at #7.

This will be #8.

Sorry to hijack your thread as a Guinea Pig.

This sounds like a great idea! I have the XR4145, and I believe it won't start unless the parking brake is set. Or maybe I'm thinking that because my parking brake is always set. Why would the remote start not work if the parking brake is set? Seems like it should be the other way around, for safety sake if nothing else. Are there options for setting something else to turn the timer off? Maybe a momentary switch in one of the unused spots on the dash?

 

[Drewmon]

It's funny you say that. After having it installed and thinking about it, I changed how the brake switch works (to override the start system). I put in a push button on the empty dash spaces instead of the brake pedal so that I could use the parking brake and remote start system.
