Sup I have a 01' Silverado, and curious to why the "service engine soon" light is on when the truck is started by remote or by key? I already unhook the battery and reset it. It happened after the alarm was installed, and also does the Clifford RS 3.5 remote have a light? How do I program the light if so? One more Q, how do I program the remote for remote starter to be the trunk button? Right now its Lock/Unlock is the lock button and remote start is the unlock.........Thanx!

yes it has a light.... you program illumination on or off thru the remote.... i leave mine off as these things are hard enough on batteries as it is...... the little book owners manual you got with it should tell you how this is done..... ------------- Kevin Gerry

press all 4 remote buttons at once, then press unlock and the orange light should come on, just the same as the viper remotes.

Well the 'service engine soon" light came back on, and it was runnin' okay this morning. I left for lunch and my truck WOULDNT shift out of first, what could cause these problems? What wire are you supposed to tap into for the remote start? HELP ASAP! Thanx!

on the 5.3 does the 2nd ignition wire have to be wired up? Could that be causing this problem? Thanx!

whenever there is a second ignition on the car it does need to be hooked up.

2nd and 3rd ignitions (if you have that many) and atleast the first accy need to connected for remote start. they often power-up different computers. you may not be powering everything up so the light is being triggered.

Yea it was fine for like 3 days, but the Service engine light was trippin' me out so I wasnt drivin' it. Last time I drove it I went got gas and tighten my gas cap and it was aright. Today after lunch it wouldnt shift. I think the 2nd ignition wire is the cause of the light and not shifting into 3rd gear. Once I get the 2nd white wire hooked up for my 01' Silverado 5.3L will my tranny shift correctly? I heard the 2nd ignition controls some BCM functions. Thanx for all the help!

Do not remote start it til you get the wiring fixed. it will possibly cause transmission damage.

Im not, Im not even gunna drive it. Im just gunna let it sit n the garage til its fixed. My tranny is shifting, but wont go into 3rd, I only drove 1 mile and took it easy. Are there chances that my tranny is already screwed? What about the BCM? Like I said it was okay before this, and then all of a sudden did this.........Thanx!

The second ignition must be hooked up. It powers the transmission control module. Hope you havn't damaged anything.

Is there only 2 ignitions or 3? Do I need a relay to wire it up to work properly? Wheres the best place to find the tach wire in these trucks? Thanx again!
