Wasting your time it won't work on G5 only G4.
I always programmed tach manually.
In fact to answer your other post does the programming button do anything?
Engine running, on * twice, clear once. LED should flash, hold star for about 13 seconds, 3 chirps of siren.
I think it's (top of my head) clear X 3, * X 1, then two X light flash, programmed.
Never ever used Wiz on a G5, never had to change starter time etc.

followed proper procedure no dice it does not see the tach signal tho it indicates it learned it when i used the pro software and again with valet switch. verified wire connectivity. mainly need software to set thresholds on the engine module. like running time, battery level, temp, high rpm shutdown etc. if i get it working again. BTW have you ever had an instance where when alarm triggered the horn went of but siren stayed silent. happens occasionally.

I used the Pro software on my Avantguard 5.

That was back when I owned a laptop with Windows 2000 on it. I haven't tried to install Cliffnet Wizard pro on any other Operating System after that (never had to change settings on my alarm). My alarm still works great (remote starter and Smart Windows and Intellivoice Module). The original smart siren's battery failed and the Proximity Sensor failed. I have yet to replace either.

Waste of time, a simple fact of life with Clifford G5. The man who devised the software was an Israeli (surprise surprise) whom DEI gave the bullet to as soon as they acquired Clifford, far better software than the Bitwriter. Once he'd gone and founded Skytek no one at DEI could emulate it and it was corrupted for G5. Even the wonderful Intellisense won't work with G5.
You can use the Wiz but tach sense must be done manually. If the R/S doesn't work you've done something else wrong. Never ever had a failure, never had any problems and because of the UK climate never had to adjust any settings, starter time etc.
If using Intellistart lV or V (same product, different manufacturers) the only wires from the I/Start to be used are TACH, and STATUS outputs (immobiliser bypass etc.).

is there a hard reset that might restore all function to default that i don't see in the manuals?

No, everything's retained in a non volatile memory.
That's why it's a Wiz PRO .

Howie, thank you for the awesome history! Only dealers would know this information!

i doubt it. every store i went to regarding clifford systems says they are dealers but don't about the g5 or cliffnet systems and tell me to call the makers. wizes me off.

You're not really paying any attention are you, I never said dealers and most dealers wouldn't; only those who were around about 15 years ago when G5 first came out. But then you haven't payed attention from your original post on either this or the other thread going back about 2 years. Telling Me of all people that TACH comes off the G5 part and on.
To these dealers Clifford and Viper are the same, G5 though is completely different. Different ways to install, program etc.
The nearest current product equivalent to G5 is Compustar in terms of what it does and build quality.

1996 chevy tahoe, module does not see tach signal after trying to relearn it using software and then trying to adjust rpm threshold. was totally functional before doing so. tach signal wire from module is hooked to white wire off coil. just as the dash tach is which is function. will that do?

Reprogram everything manually.
Assume white wire at the coil is the coil(-).
Since we've never seen a Tahoe in Europe, by the way it's 11:30pm here.
If auto GREEN/ black thin red, black, black grey (tach) are all connected.

well still no dice. think it might worth be asking clifford for a new unit? it on occasion only chips the interior siren and not he external and horn. i am a wiz ard at stuff but this is not coming together as it once was before i used the software to set the rpm threshold.

Never use the Wiz to set tach on G5 it will throw EVERYTHING else out.
The software is fine for G4, totally inadequate for G5
As for your siren, if it's battery back up, that's failed or if on the same circuit as your intern piezo, then failed or bad wiring.
