I listed the connections earlier in the post. Was there any additional info you needed?
Also I checked again, just to be sure, I have good constant (+) 12v, an good ground going to avital module.
Should I ground the activation wire??
The manual confuses me, it says at the wiring description it isn't available on one button remotes, and at the activation wire description it doesn't say that it's not available for one button remote?? Also says not required unless using security or keyless entry remote.

I just reread your post sorry you did list them try moving your ground to the kick panel clean any paint
You can try tapping the activation wire to ground if you haven't changed programming it will be one pulse
Also have you tried to do a take over see if that part works

I'll try moving the ground to the kick panel (I'll try anything at this point).
Sorry, not sure what a take over is??

Start the car with the key then without touching the brake activate the remote start. If it's working correctly the remote start system should take over and you should be able to remove the key with the car staying running.

Ok. Finally was able to try swapping the ground to the kick panel, still nothing. Also double checked my brake wire, only getting 12v when brake pedal is pressed. Also tried the take over method, didn't work. Starting to wonder if I somehow have a defective avital module? ?

FINALLY! I realized that I needed BOTH constant 12v wires hooked up at ignition harness...only had one hooked up the whole time. Dumb rookie mistake! Lol.
However, now it turns over for six seconds an won't fire up. The manual says to check my IGN wires (may be connected backwards).
Any thoughts on this new delima?

Meter each ignition wire using the key
And record the readings. Then do the same with the remote start and make sure they match.

Both IGN wires reading 12v when key is in ON position. With remote start, both read 12v right before starting. Seems to be reading the same on both IGN wires.
