Guest CFrance729 Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 So when it comes to wiring and electrical, I know close to nothing. I am trying to install one of the keyless start kits, but I honestly have no clue which 5/6 wires are the ones I need. I have the shop manual on my computer, but I cannot seem to figure it out from the diagrams. Does anyone out there have experience with this? Any help is much appreciated.

RivNut Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 This is the kind of situation where I pay someone who does it professionally to do it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CFrance729 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Yes but I need to install the keyless ignition to get the car running again. Last year something snapped somewhere inside the steering column, preventing the key from turning in anyway. This was after I had already replaced the lock cylinder a year prior, so I decided to just install the keyless ignition and figure out the real problem after I move down to Charleston in a couple days. The instructions are pretty clear and I do have some basic knowledge about wiring from high school engineering classes and the Army, just nothing practical or ever actually put into use. Just have no idea where to find the ignition wires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RivNut Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 It would help if you could tell us the year of your car. Most of us drive cars that don't have keys in the column. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RivNut Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 There's an E-body Riviera group on Facebook that is really into this generation Riviera. It's called "Buick Riviera Owners and Enthusiasts." Give them a shout. They have over 5,000 in their group. Typical Facebook but they sometimes do get into technical stuff. Try to contact Jayson Pruitt.
