remote start 2nd ignition

Installed remote start in 2000 silverado- forgot to connect 2nd ignition. Trans light came on and shifted irractic. Connected white wire as per diagram. Still has trans problems only when remote start is used to start vehicle.

Any advice

Verify that the remote starter Ignition2 output is working properly.  ( On Viper systems you must connect H3-2 RED / White to +12V constant so that the Pink/White has power.)Soldering is fun!

Sure you got the correct white wire and it is powering up and at right time.

This is a pro-start, and how do I check the output of the remote start 2nd ignition.

Either 1 of 2 things is happening and how to test them 1- You have the right wire connected to the 2nd ignition white wire but programmed wrong (to accessory instead of 2nd ignition). 2- It's programmed correctly but not getting any power to that 2nd ignition wire even though it's connected. Often caused by a bad connection/solder joint. A good way to test is to connect the ground probe of your multimeter to a good ground and the positive probe to that white wire (2nd ignition). Press the remote start button on the Prostart remote and watch the multimeter. It should show 12v (or about there) when the starter engages. That means you have it setup correctly as a 2nd Ignition wire. -If your meter shows 12v initially (before it engages the starter) but then drops to 0 (or close 0) upon engaging the starter, that wire is programmed as a 2nd accessory and needs to be changed to a 2nd ignition.

on the unit there is a jumper to select acc ign or start for the 5th relay GREEN output. change it to ignition.Ted

Thanks to everyone who replied to my post. I rechecked my wire and soldering and found the wires were not fastened properly.

I thought I knew how to solder.......My bad.

Thanks again for all the help, much appreciated.
