I have a remote start and the wires got pulled out of the connector. I need to bypass the remote start until my new harness gets delivered. What does the yellow/red and yellow/green wires connect to and it's location
Thanks

Those colors don't match the Acura remote start system and in reality without doing a lot of rewiring there isn't a way to bypass the remote start option because of the way the security system works. Could you get a picture of the remote connector showing the shape and colors of the wires? The one you are looking for should have 28 cavities with 16 wires in it, located under the dash if it was factory installed. However they also offered a dealer installed unit which varies depending on the area the dealership was in. A picture of the unit and the connector would help. Especially if it has the part number on the box. Thank You.

I found the install manual, Those two wires go to the immobilizer system where they cut the OE wiring. The Yellow/Green wire goes to pin 1 in the red connector. The Yellow/Red goes to pin 3 in the red connector. It should be possible to release the connector and then use a pin to release the interior terminal from the connector. Then trim the two wires and solder them to the terminals and put them back into the housing and plug them back in. If that is a loose brown wire I see in the one image it goes into the white connector
The manual is here -
