Wow! For the first time a search actually didn't give me a satisfactory answer...and it's a sort of silly question, to boot! Especially since I just successfully adjusted the sadistic vacuum controls for the transmission. Anyway, I plan to do a valve adjustment in a day or two ('82 300D), but I can't figure out where to hook up my remote starter switch. Somebody, please tell me that I don't have to hook it up directly to the solenoid. I'll probably need a bunker-buster to get to it.

Violet wire where whunter pointed you (hook to either the screw or to the violet wire that goes down to the starter)

Thanks alot! That sounds much easier than I feared it would be.
