02 trailblazer, 550esp, start problem

The installer didn't wire up the WHITE 2nd IGN wire at first and wired in the ORANGE accessory wire. What you have to find out is if the wire that went to the ORANGE wire is indeed set for 2nd IGN. If you have a 2nd IGN wire output on the remote starter unit, use it to power up a relay or if it's a (+) output, then use the wire directly tot he WHITE wire.

Basically there are 5 main power connections for the vehicle that MUST be connected in order for the remote start to start the vehicle properly:

• RED - Power
• PINK - Ignition
• WHITE - 2nd Ignition
• ORANGE -  Accessory
• YELLOW - STARTER

Make sure that each of these wires have a connection to the remote starter and that the proper wires from the remote starter are going to the vehicle.

R/S PINK

however now it does not want to start (using Remote Start). I detect a power drain and it seems that the Remote starts thinks its running.. Accessories are on, as well as the "SES" and "Service 4x4" Lights are on, but I think thats because the vehicle is in run w/o the engine running.

Although hooked up totally wrong (and horrbily bad for the vehicle).. the remote start started the vehicle when hooked up to ORANGE / 300/ignition 3 voltage (as it was wired before)

Could it be the Passlock Interface (555L) or could it be a setting on the 550ESP? 

Thanks again for all your help!!!

Whe you say that it doesn't want to start, do you mean that it doesn't even attempt to crank over ? Does it start and then shut down ?

Also, I'm looking at the wiring diagram for the Viper 550ESP and I dn't see any reference to a Pink/White wire anywhere ? I have a PINK wire that is suppose to go to the relay for the 1st & 2nd IGN of the vehicle as well, there is a YELLOW ignition INPUT wire that your suppose to hook up to an ignition source. Also, the ORANGE wire from the 550 unit is suppose to go to the accessory relay and the output of the accessory relay should go to the ORANGE wire on the vehicle, not the BROWN wire.

Jeff:

 Page 15 of the 550ESP install manual. (the Ribbon cable pictured on the wiring diagram on the last page is wired directly into the Relay Satellite – R/S) and the wires coming out of the R/S are listed on pg 15.

It took me several mins to figure that one out….

I will recheck the wires again and see about the orange wire…

It was late last night and I was at it for like 10 hours… checking everything.

Jeff, thanks again for all your help!!!!!!! U R a lifesaver!!!

Jeff:

I forgot to answer your question in the last post... The vehicle does not crank. however you see the guages flicker like it is trying to start, then all the accessories turn on as well as the "SES" and "Service 4x4" lights. When you cancel via remote everything turns off.

This is how it is wired right now

R/S PINK

I'll try disconnecting the RS Orange from the Factory Brown and hooking the RS orange to Factory Orange..

I'll let you know...

Thanks AGAIN!!

Jeff:

 Rewired to RS Orange to Factory ORANGE / 300/IGNITION3

Upon Remote request:  Hear Relays click... No Crank, No Accessory power, "SES" Light on

Upon Remote cancel: Retained Power Accessories work until door is opened.

Jeff:

I should say that Accessories are OFF until I cancel the Start request.....

Prior to the change you suggested (To answer your earlier Question) The vehicle did not crank. however you see the guages flicker like it is trying to start, then all the accessories turn on as well as the "SES" and "Service 4x4" lights. When you cancel via remote everything turns off.
