ok im having a horrible day guys and if anyone can please help me . everything is working as it should except the remote start, if i have the key in the ignition the remote starter starts correctly etc.
the problem im having is the pkall module im trying to use for a 2010 transit connect, when i finish programming it the led light just stays solid red it never blinks or anything.
i tried 2 configurations for the tx and rx cables.
firstly i tried connection 4 from the manual rx pin 1 was color white with green stripe and i connected the purple white from the pkall to that .
i connected the white with orange cable tx to my pkall yellow black cable.
after that configuration didnt work through programming about 10 times i noticed that connection 1 looks more like the connector in the transit connect van so i tried the cables black yellow and green with white.
those didnt work either and everytime i have the same problem when programming the red light stays solid. i read the manual about 20 times to make sure i wasnt missing anything and ive used these modules before .
has anyone done a transit connect or is there a diagram that says the exact color of the rx and tx wires?
thanks for reading the long post
Are both of the keys original Ford keys? Make sure one of them isn't a cloned key from a locksmith.
Have you tried this combination of RX / TX wires? ( Info from iDatalink.)
Transit Connect 2010 TX Pin 4 WHITE/ Green RX Pin 3 Gray/Orange
So PKALL RX PURPLE / White to Transit Connect Gray/Orange and PKALL TX Yellow/Black to WHITE/ Green.
The Transit Connect Transponder plug should be a 4 Pin plug located about 8 inches down the steering column from the ignition switch.

Soldering is fun!
