check the 3A and both 30A fuses on the relay satellite. Also
make sure that the ground wire is going to a chassis ground
and not to something under the dash.
➤ The remote start will activate but the starter never engages.
Check for voltage on the purple starter wire two seconds
after the remote start becomes active. If there is voltage
present, skip to Step 4. If there is not voltage present,
advance to Step 2.
Check the 30A fuses.
Make sure the purple starter wire is connected on the starter
side of the optional starter kill relay.
Does the vehicle have an immobilizer? Some immobilizer
systems will not allow the vehicle to crank if active.
Check connections. The two red heavy gauge input wires on
the relay satellite should have solid connections. "T-taps", or
"scotch locks" are not recommended for any high current
heavy gauge wiring. Also, if the vehicle has more than one
12-volt input wire, then connect one red wire to each.
➤ The vehicle starts, but immediately dies.
Does the vehicle have an immobilizer? The vehicle’s immo-
bilizer will cut the fuel and/or spark during unauthorized
starting attempts.
Is the remote start programmed for voltage sense? If so, the
start time may not be set high enough, or you may have to
adjust the voltage threshold in programming. Voltage sense
will not work on some vehicles.
