remote start / stop, 99 lexus rx300

yes the truck should start with the key inserted into the ingition not turned. I would double check the remote start wiring to make sure it does the same thing as the key does (Ingition acts as Ingition and ACC acts as ACC). Another thing where did you grab Tach From ? Did you proform Tach Learn procudure ?    But from your above post about the theft light flashing it would indicate the truck isnt seeing a valid key. This could be because somthing isnt getting powered up correctly or the bypass module isnt working.If i Can't Install it    I Don't need it   Joe

I rechecked with test light at the ignition harness. All check good except i do not have the blue wire connected to anything because it appears that its only for powering up accessories. Description reads = positive 12v 0+) output that powers up during remote start. The behavior of this wire is selectable by a jumper inside the control module. By default the wires power up as a second ignition trigger. It is changeable to a 2nd starter or 2nd accessory. All other 7 of the 8 pin ignition connecter check out.

Please connect the second ignition also helps to start the vehicle, injection etc. If it powers up with the key, logic says use it.

I connected to the blk/wh IGN 2 wire and pushed the remote start and it just kept cranking, i had to pull the compustar connecter to make it stop cranking.

does that suggest that the default jumper is not set to ignition? is set to starter setting?

Not sure, I'd set it as second ignition if that's how it tests.

I opened it up and it is set to 2nd Ign. as default just as stated in the manual. This dont make any sense.

please tell me your testing these wires before connecting to them. According to the wiring diagram BLK/WHT is the starter wire. So if you connected the ing2 output of the remote start to your starter wire then that would explain your continuous cranking.       DIRECTWIRE™ WIRING INFORMATION - LEXUS / RX 300 / 1999 / Remote Start [PRINT THIS PAGE] 12volts WHITE/ red (20A) + ignition harness Starter BLACK/ white + ignition harness Second Starter N/A      Ignition black or BLACK/ red + ignition harness Second Ignition BLACK / YELLOW + ignition harness Third Ignition N/A      Accessory pink + ignition harness Second Accessory N/A      Keysense blue - ignition key switch Power Lock pink (key lock) and gray (lock detection) TecDoc1070 Driver Door ECU in door Power Unlock pink/blue (key unlock) and gray (lock detection) TecDoc1070 Driver Door ECU in door Lock Motor        Unlock Motor        Parking Lights+ green + driver kick, gray 12 pin plug, pin 10 Parking Lights- GREEN/ red - headlight switch Hazards        Turn Signal(L)        Turn Signal(R)        Reverse Light        Door Trigger RED / white - ignition key switch light (reads delay) Dome Supervision use door trigger      Trunk/Hatch Pin WHITE/ red - Body ECU under driver dash, white 21 pin plug, pin 5 Hood Pin RED / blu or RED / wh (need to diode isolate from ECU) - Body ECU under driver dash, white 21 pin plug, pin 6 Trunk/Hatch Release        Power Sliding Door N/A      Factory Alarm Arm arms with lock      Factory Alarm Disarm disarms with unlock      Disarm No Unlock use keysense      Tachometer orange ac right of fuse box, white 10 pin plug, pin 9 Wait to start N/A      Brake Wire GREEN / WHITE + brake switch or driver kick, gray 12 pin plug, pin 9 Parking Brake RED / black - parking brake switch Horn Trigger WHITE/ red - steering column If i Can't Install it    I Don't need it   Joe

Ok Joe, I will fix that in the morning cause its raining hard here right now, and report back with my results. Dont know if anything will change but at least the engine wont keep cranking. lol. . Here is the diagram i pulled from this sites downloads section. As you see, the starter and Ign 2 is listed as the same wire. I guess ive gotten so frustrated i missed that mistake.

You need to test each wire before connecting to it . I test even if I've done the truck/car 100 times before. I would go over each connection individually with multimeter and make sure they match what the key does. The diagrams are just guides they can be wrong. I always power everything at the ignition switch same as the key would do. That way you can avoid issues. We need to get the basic wiring correct before we can tackle anything else.
