Remote Starting

[monbonlupin]

No, nothing happens...

Have you gone through the configuration portion of the remote starter to make sure that thinks like that activation input are properly configured? For example that input is a +/- input which means that it probably needs to be told whether the signal is a + or - signal.

There's an activation input polarity jumper that I set to (-). What do you think about my wiring ? If it is correct, I might try to solder all the heavy gauge connections because the red splice taps I used seem to be too small...

Thanks !

With a quick look it seems to be OK. Before you start rewiring, test is manually, by disconnecting that input and touching that wire to a ground twice to see if it tries to start. It may be that the remote starter doesn't like the pulse length/spacing.

Ok, i'ill try that...

Thanks

I touched the input to a ground twice and NOTHING...

[CTScott]

Does it respond if you try to go through the programming menu?

[monbonlupin]

yes

I just found the manual for the 4003. The neutral safety input has to be grounded for it to allow starting.

Thanks, I grounded the safety switch. Nothing changed but when I wired the H1/4 WHITE/BLUE (+/-) ACTIVATION INPUT wire to the blue GD1-9 wire, the car started for a few seconds then the engine stopped. I was able to restart the car by pressing the unlock button. The car ran a few seconds and stopped again. Does that mean that the brown wire in GD1-8 is not the correct wire ?

Thank you for your help !

Brown is the control for the door unlock via the key switch. Blue is the unlock detection, so the blue would be the better choice.

You can tie the rear window defogger to the aux output of the remote starter to clear the back window. Here, where we get frost and snow that can be quite handy.

For the immobilizer piece, look at your ignition switch. If it is all metal then you don't have an immobilizer. If it has about a 3 cm metal part surrounded by black plastic, then you do.

Is it possible to make the remote starter start up your heated mirrors too? and heck while we are at it what about the heated seats too?

If the starter has enough outputs you can start whatever accessories you want. If it doesn't have enough you would have to use a bunch of relays driven off of the outputs that it does have.
