I have a compustar 2W900FM Alarm installed on my manual transmission car. A while back the remote start stoped working. I sent the brain back and got a new replacement unit. I connected it and it worked great.
My battery died and I had the car jump started with a battery pack. Now the remote start won't work again. Same symptoms as before:
1. The shutdown proces works fine and it activates the alarm normally.
2. When I press the remote start button, it turns the ignition on but it does not crank the engine.
3. There is no blinkin error code. All accesories stay on and it shuts off if i push the brake like it normally would.
Is there a way to master reset the unit? maybe I need reprogram it? I tried the RPM button and it didn't do anything. I can't belive I'm going to need a new unit everytime I jumpstart the car!
Thank you!

when you try to remote start the vehical, and the ignition comes on then goes off the module should flash a code, so watch the park lights and count how many times it blinks.

been a while since i installed compustar but if it dosen't have the correct tack it won't start...  I think.  Also check the fuses if when you jumped it it might have blown one 30 amp fuse and not both so it would still kick in but not start.

Starter kill relay is wired backwards, Black stripe goes to the key.

It used to work fine, the wires were not touched at all. I really don't think it has anything to do with the wireing

Missed that part sorry... There are three fuses on the main harness cbout three inches from the main unit. There are two green 30amp fuses that you may need to replace.

Boost, all you have to do is reset the unit...

Here's how:

Ignition on and off 5 times really fast, then press lock on each transmitter.  Works for me every time.
