Clifford System not found

Intelleguard 8000 + Intellestart 4 Installed by myself. The system ran fine for a few days, no problems, remote start worked, alarm functioned. I left my headlights on one day. Came back to the car, remote start did not respond. Drove home and parked. Set up for remote start. Next morning, remote start did not respond. Went to run errands. Set up for remote start. Came back to car, no remote start. Sat down in car, turned over ignition but no start at all. Car seemed dead as a doornail, completely immobilized. Jump-start, all systems go. Or so it seems. Get home, set up for remote start. Next day, no remote start. Get into car, no response....is the battery dead again? Jump Start, car starts fine. Turn key back to accessory position, every thing shuts off. No clock, no lights, no nothing. The only thing that gets this thing to start is a jumpstart. Is it a current drain? I tested for parasitic current drain which shows about 50 mA which is not out of the ordinary. Time to hook up cliffnet wizard pro. Plug cable into com port and other end into 8000 unit. Start up Wizard Pro and I keep getting the message "Port Available but System Not Found" I'm at a loss...any suggestions?

sounds like your battery is shot. your car will jumpstart but it won't hold a charge from the alternator.Shaughn Murley

That was my first thought as well. However, after replacing the battery with a Yellow Top, the condition still persists.....

Maybe a faulty starter kill relay? Is it turning over with the key fine after you boost and let it run a few minutes to give the battery a quick charge? Maybe you blew one of the fuses in the engine compartment? Set up for remote start...means what? Is it a manual? What are you setting up? What is the vehicle?

After jumping the battery and letting the car sit, as soon as the key is rotated back one notch to ignition, it reverts into the problematic state. When I say "set up" for remote start, it's because its a manual transmission that requires a button to be pressed before turning the car off. This is a 1996 Honda Civic EX

Pull the starter kill relay out of the socket and jumper it so that it is temporarily bypassed. Another words the starter wire will always be connected, unaffected by the alarm.

After the first time the battery went dead...did the system go into Valet mode. Solid LED on the dash?

I cannot remember if the unit went into valet mode or not. It was very hard to get the alarm to respond to the remote as if there was not enough power. I was able to access settings however using the valet code. The starter kill relay is within the alarm module. Do you recommend that I open the alarm module to bypass the starter kill relay?

At least temporarily reconnect the two ends of the starter wire that you originally cut if you want to test the starter kill problem. Might be easier to disconnect the heavy gauge remote start wiring connector and jumper the starter and ignition wires that you originally cut there. Another thing it might be is a bad ground. Try double checking that. Where did you grab all your constant 12 volt power from? White wire at ignition or all the way back to the battery? did you break any copper strands when you tried to attach your wires to it?
