Important Information

1. Use a voltmeter. DO NOT USE A TEST LIGHT! Test lights have a current drain that

will damage the vehicle’s onboard computer or could trigger the air bag.

2. Keep extension, if needed, as short as possible. Use same-gauge wire for extensions.

3. DO NOT mount components nor route wires near hot or moving vehicle parts.

NOTE: Clifford Electronics’ web site for Authorized Clifford Dealers has

detailed descriptions of wire colors and locations for most foreign and

domestic vehicles. See www.clifforddealers.com for assistance 24-hours per

day or refer to the latest quarterly Tech Support Database CD-ROM.

Required Installation Tools

Voltmeter (set to DC Volt)

Wire crimper

Wire stripper

Electric drill and bits

Phillips screwdriver

Crescent wrench

Vinyl tubing

Rubber grommet (if firewall pass-through is needed)

Modes: Dealer Mode, Sleep Mode, Customer Mode

There are three modes to provide the utmost flexibility for expediters and new vehicle dealers:

Dealer Mode: This is the as-shipped operating mode after you program the master remote. The

system respond only to the master remote in this mode. Beeps are muted, panic and car-finder

features are off, and AutoArm and AutoArm & Lock features are on. Programming the Customer

Care Kit remotes switches the system to Customer Mode and auto-deletes the master remote.

Sleep Mode: This mode completely disables the system. It is intended for unsold pre-loads to make

the system inoperable in cases where it is not feasible to remove the system control unit. To ensure

against accidental customer access, Sleep Mode is accessible only if the system is in Dealer Mode.

Customer Mode: This is the normal operating mode for the new car purchaser.

Control Unit and Receiver

Never install the control unit under the hood.

1. Select a mounting area, but do not affix the control unit until wiring and testing is complete.

2. Plug in the receiver module. Do not fold or make sharp bends in the cable or antenna wire.

For maximum range, mount the receiver module away from the control unit and run the

antenna up the window pillar and affix it to the windshield about an inch from the roofline.

Ignition & Starter

1. Find the wire in the steering column or ignition switch wireloom that shows +12V throughout

BOTH the cranking AND engine running cycles

, and 0 volts when the ignition is off.

2. Connect the WHITE/BROWN wire to the ignition line.

3. Find the wire that shows +12V during the

cranking cycle ONLY

4. Cut it and connect a WHITE/RED wire to each side of the cut wire.

LED & Valet Switch Assembly

1. Select an underdash area to mount the assembly where there is clearance for the screws

and will position the LED so it is visible through the windows.

2. Mate the assembly’s connector to the control unit connector of the same colors.

NOTE: The GRAY & BLACK wire 2-pin connector on the 10-pin connector is not

used on the Level FOUR.

Door Trigger/Interior Light Supply

The Level FOUR has self-programming door trigger polarity. Door triggers on most vehicles

are negative. To verify polarity:

1. Find the one wire off the rear of the door switch that shows +12 volts when the switch is

pressed in and 0 volts when released. This is a negative trigger door wire.

2. If you can’t find such a wire, find the one wire that shows 0 volts when the switch is

pressed in and +12 volts when released. This is a positive trigger door wire.

3. Connect the system’s thin GRAY wire to the door wire.

4. If the door trigger is negative, connect the BROWN/RED wire to ground wire; if positive,

connect it to +12V.

NOTE: The BROWN/WHITE Level

TWO harness wire is not used on

the Level FOUR installation.

Door Locks

WARNING: If the power door locks

do not operate properly when the

system is armed and disarmed, DO

NOT USE THE VEHICLE’S DOOR

LOCK

SWITCH!

Permanent

damage to the control unit or to the

car’s electrical system and lock

servos will result. For assistance,

call the Clifford Technical Support

Hotline at 800-444-4667.

Single-Stage

(all doors unlock simultaneously)

1. Remove the door lock switch on the

driver’s side of the vehicle to reveal the

switch wires.

a. If there are four or more wires, make

the connections shown in Diagram 4.

b. If there are three wires, go to step 2.

c. If the vehicle does not have a door

lock switch, find the wire in the

driver’s kick panel that shows ground

when unlocked and “open” when

locked. Make the connections shown

in Diagram 3.

2. Find the wire that shows +12V while

activating the switch. Make the

connections shown in Diagram 1.

Otherwise, go to step 3.

3. Repeat step 2 with the negative

voltmeter lead connected to +12V.

Then find the wire that shows +12V

while activating the switch. Make the

connections shown in Diagram 2.

4. Locks controlled from the driver’s door

key require installation of a #60-516

servo in the driver’s door. Vehicles

without factory power locks require a

servo in each door. Mount the servo(s) and make the connections shown in Diagram 5.

5. On compressor type Mercedes Benz or Audi, make the connections shown in Diagram 6.

6. If needed, after power-up, program the system for 3-second pulsing or double lock and/or

unlock pulses (+ or –).

System Checklist & Troubleshooting

The following checklist will assure that you have installed the Level FOUR correctly. Each

successive step requires that the previous step has been completed as indicated.

NOTE: If you are still having trouble after performing the following steps,

please call Clifford Technical Support Services at 1-800-444-4667.

Step 1: Test the immobilization circuit.

Arm the system by pressing the LOCK button on the Dealer Master remote (note: there are

no arm/disarm beep confirmations in Dealer Mode [see page 3]) from inside the vehicle and

wait 10 seconds. Turn the ignition to the “START” position.

Engine does not respond. This is the correct response, proceed to step 2.

4 beeps: If 4 beeps immediately or 5-10 seconds after arming, a trigger or sensor is open or active,

or the vehicle has delayed courtesy lights and the Delayed Courtesy Lights feature has not been

programmed on. Disarm and use the Eight-Event TotalRecall feature noted on page 7 to identify

the open/active input. If the door trigger is indicated, activate the delayed courtesy lights feature.

Engine starts or cranks. The starter or ignition connection is miswired. Retest the vehicle wires as

noted in the Starter Connection section on page 3.

Make sure the fuses are in the fuseholders and check the power and ground connections.

Verify the control unit connectors are properly inserted into the control unit.

Verify the ignition wire is connected to the true ignition line instead of a +12V line.

NOTE: If the 20-amp fuse blows upon arming:

Disconnect the systems parking light wire, replace the 20-amp fuse and rearm. If the fuse does not

blow, the parking light wire is shorting.

If the fuse blows while the parking light wire is disconnected, the door locks are not wired correctly.

Reconnect the vehicles power locking system to its original condition, then retest the voltages as

indicated in the Door Locks section.

If engine still starts or cranks after retesting all the wiring, check the power and ground

connections. Make sure fuses are in the fuseholders, verify the control unit connectors are securely

fastened, verify the ignition input wire is connected to the true ignition line instead of a +12V or

accessory line, and verify the transmitters are programmed.

Step 2: Test the horn connection.

Rapidly turn the ignition on then off (this invokes the AutoArming Bypass feature):

1 beep: This is the correct response. Proceed to step 3.

No beeps: Check horn connections.

Step 3: Test the parking lights.

Arm the system with the remote control.

Two flashes. This is the correct response, proceed to step 4.

No flashes. If no flashes, verify the parking light bulbs are operational. Verify that the

RED/WHITE wire is connected to a constant +12V source and that the 20-amp fuse is not blown.

If so, see the Parking Lights section.

Only one side flashes. If only the left or the right side parking lights flash, the vehicle has dual

circuits; call Technical Support at 1-800-444-4667.

Step 4: Test the door locks.

Arm the system by pressing the Lock button on the remote control.

Doors lock. This is the correct response, proceed to step 5.

Doors do not lock. You either selected the wrong lock diagram, programmed the wrong lock

polarity or connected the wires incorrectly. Reconnect the vehicles locking system to its original

condition, then retest as indicated in the Door Locks section.

WARNING: If the doors do not lock, DO NOT activate the vehicle’s lock

switches. Doing so may damage the control unit, the vehicle’s electrical

system and/or the power lock servo motors.

Doors unlock. You either selected the wrong door lock diagram or connected the wires incorrectly.

Reconnect the vehicles power locking system to its original condition, then retest the voltages as

indicated in the Door Locks section and wire the locks as indicated.

Only one door locks. You either selected the wrong door lock diagram or connected the wires

incorrectly. Reconnect the vehicles power locking system to its original condition, then retest the

voltages as indicated in the Door Locks section.

Step 5: Test the valet switch

Test switch operation by entering programming mode as noted on page 8. If no response:

Verify the WHITE/BROWN wire has +12V when the ignition is ON and 0V when OFF. If not

refer to Ignition Connection on page 3.

Verify the WHITE wire rests at +5V, shows +3V when toggled to the left and 0V when held to

the right. If not, test the switchs BLACK wire. It should read 0V at rest, 0V when pressed to the

left and 0V when pressed to the right. If the BLACK wire tests incorrectly, check the ground

circuit. If both wires test correctly, the valet code has been changed. Use CliffNet Wizard PRO to

reset the PIN code.

Step 6: Test the LED.

Arm the system with the remote control.

Flashes repeatedly. This is the correct response, proceed to step 7.

No flashes. Verify that the LEDs VIOLET and BLACK wires are properly connected. Warning:

This is a 2-volt LED, testing with 12 volts will destroy the LED.

Step 7: Test the disarm function.

Disarm by pressing remote control button 1. The following should occur (note: there are no

arm/disarm beep confirmations in Dealer Mode [see page 3]):

Parking lights flash once. If the parking lights do not flash once, refer to step 3.

LED stops flashing.

Doors unlock. If not refer to step 4.

Immobilizer circuit immediately disengages (test by starting the engine with the key). If the

immobilizer circuit does not disengage, refer to step 1.

Interior courtesy light(s) turn on and stay on for 30 seconds or until ignition on.

If the interior light(s) do not turn on, verify that you replaced the interior light fuse if removed or

have turned the lights back on.

If the fuse blew when you disarmed, the vehicle uses a positive door trigger and you connected

the interior light supply wire to ground instead of +12V.

Check the door trigger circuit.

Step 8: Test the door trigger circuit.

Rearm, then use the key to unlock and open the driver’s door.

Horn sounds, parking lights flash repeatedly. This is the correct response, proceed to step 9.

Horn does not sound immediately. Make sure the door pin switches consistently show less than

1.5 volts if negative-switching or more than +11 volts if positive-switching.

Step 9: Test the optional trunk trigger circuit.

Arm the system, then use the key to unlock the trunk.

Horn sounds immediately, parking lights flash repeatedly. This is the correct response, proceed

to step 10.

Alarm does not sound immediately. If the alarm does not sound immediately, make sure that the

trunk pin switch is working properly and, when open, is consistently showing less than 1.5 volts.

Also make sure the trunk pin switch is connected to the correct wire. If not, the trunk pin switch

must be thoroughly cleaned or replaced.

Step 10: Test the optional Dual-Zone Piezo Sensor.

Arm, wait 10 seconds, then tap the car softly with your fist. The following should occur:

Horn beeps five times. This is the correct response.

Hit the car firmly with your fist. The following should occur:

Alarm triggers. Proceed to step 11.

If either of these test fail, adjust the sensor using the adjustment knob and retest. Keep in

mind that the sensor does not come online until about 10 seconds after arming.

Step 11: Test range and optional accessories.

Testing range and optional accessories, such as trunk release or the IntelliStart 4 remote

engine starting accessory, will require temporary addition of a Customer Care Kit remote

control. When testing is complete, reprogram the master remote control into the system. This

clears out the codes of any Customer Care Kit remote controls and returns the system to

Dealer Mode.

To test range, stand 30 feet from the vehicle and use the remote control to arm and disarm.

The system will respond as previously noted. If not:

Reposition the external receiver as high as possible under the dash and as far as possible from

heavy wirelooms and metal.

Reposition the antenna rod underdash or, for maximum range, run the antenna cable up the

window pillar and mount the antenna rod on the windshield about an inch below the roofline.

Make sure that the remote control battery measures at least 3 volts while transmitting.

Make sure the voltage at the control unit between the 5-amp fused power line and each the

ground line is at least 12.0 volts when triggered (if less, make sure the ground connection is solid;

if so, the vehicle battery may need charging, servicing or replacement).

Make sure no accessories are tapped in to the RED or BLACK power and ground wires.
