Need help with Avital

I had the same problem with a 2000 cherokee, instead of the 6000...I put in the 4500(samething)

I remember I went to bail out this customer in the coldest day in winter....the truck was running....i took the fuses out of the unit...STILL RUNNING....went to disconnect the main battery of the car...STILL RUNNING!!

I freaked.....got my hands on that unit and disconnected it....finally turn off , next day i was talking to that tech on this situation.....he was puzzled.....I tried another unit and ran the 12 volts and ground to the battery direct.....still the same sh*t.

finally got fed up and ripped that unit out of the truck and ran it over.....I NEVER INSTALLED ANOTHER AVITAL.

They have some serious problems

good luck

Thanks for the reply. Now I am sure that my wiring and connections are all correct, its the unit which is messed up. Another thing I noticed is 15-20 minutes after I start the car by remote, everything works fine until the system arms itself once it is out of running time and it shuts the parking lights off, after that even if I press my brake pedal, my brake light works but my shift release solenoid does not work until I take the fuse out to shut down the car. Luckily I connected the positive and negative wires directly to the battery. What is your opinion about Audiovox or Prestige remote starters? Also, is there any other model by DEI that I can buy and replace my unit without having to rewire everything.
