I have installed an Absolute FMR857 2-way remote pager alarm system with remote start into a 1997 Chevrolet Tahoe LS 2 Door. I am having a few issues with this install and was wondering if anyone is familiar with this vehicle and installing alarms on it?
1. The first one is with the door locks. Since this is the 2 door my install guide says it is Type C door locks and I have the double throw relay that is required for them and have hooked it up to the light blue and white lock and unlock wires and it will not lock or unlock with the remote at all but on the door switch on the car it will. Anyone know the exact set-up to make this work with remote from the alarm?
2.Second issue I am having is with the remote start feature. When I remote start the truck it starts and then cuts off 3-5 seconds later and will not stay on. this happens every time I try to remote start.
3. Third issue that I'm having is the trunk release. This truck has the rear hatch on it and I have tapped into a black wire in the driver side kick panel that reads 12V when the rear hatch switch is pressed. I also have the relay that is needed to make this work hooked up as well. Is there some other wire that I need to tap into or maybe another location or maybe possibly something else?
Thanks in advance to anyone that helps me out here with these problems. I tried to be as descriptive as possible but if there is any more questions that you need so you can help me figure it out just let me know.

That's the diagram for type c doorlocks, do you have it set up this way? The actuator motor wires are the wires being used here!

Second issue is a tach issue! Have you connected tach and learned it to the unit?

I'll get back to you on that third one!

#3   if the vehicle has a rear lift gate it is a (+) Positive and if it has rear cargo doors it is a 5 wire system.

#2 I am assuming there is no bypass needed. Did you correctly wire your tach wire? I have seen cars shut off after 3-4 secs due to bad tach.
**If the vehicle is equipped with a keyless entry, the doorlocks are positive.

I did have it set up like this and no response. Are the light blue and white wires the correct ones or are there different ones that are the actuator wires?
There is no tach learning for this unit. I have connected to the white wire as stated in diagram that is located behind glove box. Any other locations where I can tap into for the tach feature or should i go tachless?

POWER LOCK       LIGHT BLUE (TYPE A)
POWER UNLOCK       WHITE (TYPE A)
If vehicle is a 2-Door, the Door Locking System is a TYPE "C", If vehicle is a 4-Door, the Door Locking System is a TYPE "A".

Do you know the correct wire colors and location for Type C door locks?
Yes there are 2 ignition wires on this model and I have both hooked up to r/s unit. Pretty sure it is white but not 100% sure. I can double check for this tomorrow when I have the truck and let you know.
It is a rear lift gate and I have it connected to a black wire that reads 12v when pressed that located in driver's kick panel and nothing happens. Is this the right wire or is there another that needs to be hooked up?
