What should you do to electronically shut down the RAP feature after manually shutting down a remote starter?

Wiring an SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) relay correctly allows for the proper control of the RAP (Retained Accessory Power) feature after manually shutting down a remote starter. The SPDT relay is designed to switch between two circuits based on the input, which makes it an ideal solution for managing the RAP feature.

When the remote starter is shut down, the SPDT relay can be configured to disconnect the RAP function, ensuring that accessory power is turned off alongside the remote starter. This not only prevents battery drain but also maintains the integrity of the vehicle’s electrical systems.

Using an SPDT relay enables a controlled and reversible adjustment to the vehicle's wiring, which is a preferable approach compared to bypassing circuits or disconnecting systems entirely, as those methods can lead to potential complications or failures in other electrical functions. Properly integrating a relay into the wiring allows for a seamless operation that adheres to the manufacturer’s specifications while providing the technician with the flexibility to manage accessory power efficiently.
