python 5401p on 97 f250

Today I installed this system on my 97 f250 diesel. I've got the alarm portion working but the remote start is not working. I used the wiring guide from bulldog security and am pretty confident that it is wired correctly. When I press the start button nothing happens. The tach wire is not hooked up. Will it start the truck without this? Is there some programming to be done before it will work? Thanks Ryan

Do the heavy gauge wires do the starting or is there some type of relay needed?

As always, if you could list ALL of your wiring connections (connector and color), from the remote start unit to what wire on the vehicle (location and color). That way we can see a visual of you install and can maybe help.When all else fails, Read the Instructions

Green to RED / blue key switch Violet to RED / blue starter Orange to yel/gray Pink/white to blk/grn Red to 12v RED / blk to 12v RED / white to 12v

Is the RED / blue at you ignition switch cut?  Are your connections soldered or crimped?   What about the Pink for Ignition 1When all else fails, Read the Instructions

The ignition wire is cut. The connections are crimped   The trick will start by key.

Good advise:: Get rid of the crimps and solder.  Still need an ansewr on Pin to ignition 1 as well as the othe connectors and their connected to what on the truck.    Heavy gauge wiring looks right so far as long as those wires tested out with DMM.  Need a 12 volt connection on H1 harness, Ground, NSS, ,Toggle switch, brake, hood pin.....

And is this a 5104 and not a 5401?

Ignition is pink to RED / light green Gt the power and ground to h1 Toggle switch is in and on Brake is connected at the switch to the light green Hood pin is not hooked up I'm sorry it's the 5104 ll wires tested out And which other wires do you need to know

NSs is not hooked up its a auto

The BLACK/ White Neutral Safety Wire must be connected.  For most auto trans vehicles going to Chassis

Ground is OK.  Just run the NSS test shown below to ensure safe operation.

➤ Testing the neutral safety switch

1.) Make sure there is adequate clearance to the front and rear of the vehicle because it may move slightly.2.) Make sure the hood is closed and there are no remote start shut-downs active.3.) Set the emergency brake.4.) Turn the key to the “run” position, this will release the shifter.5.) Place the car in drive (D).6.) Place your foot directly over the brake pedal, but do not depress it.  Be ready to step on the brake if the      starter engages.7.) Activate the remote start system.8.) If the starter engages, immediately depress the brake to shut the remote start system down.  If the starter      does not engage, no additional safety system is required.

Did you set the Python to Auto Trans Mode? 

Are you getting any LED error codes?

Is the Neutral Safety Switch plugged in and set to ON?

Soldering is fun!
