automate am1 remote start issue

The 556S does not connect to the data wires, it has a ring that goes around the key cylinder. The ring is in the picture below: As you can see, the black and BLACK/ red wires goto the ring or loop. If you cannot find the ring, you can make one out of a strand of solid wire. You can get a strand of solid wire if you strip apart a Cat5 wire. There are eight individual wires in there, you only need one. 1) You would separate the black and BLACK/ red wires. They are not supposed to be soldered together like you described. 2) You would connect the black wire to one end of the Solid wire. 3) Run the wire up to the key cylinder and start to wrap around the face of the key cylinder about 5-8 times. You want to wrap around the silver key cylinder but not in front of it. There should be a little black or clear lip. 4) Once you finish making your wraps around the cylinder, return the other end of the Solid wire to the BLACK/ red wire and connect the Solid wire to it.

I found the ring you were referring to. You said to wrap this wire around the silver key cylinder. Now should it be behind or in front of the black lip you're talking about. And also the ring looks just like the one in your picture. So should I cut it to make one straight wire before I wrap it around or should I like it in the ring form?R.Cameron

I just PM'd you. I am reading your post and see that you found the ring that comes with the 556S. Thats great, now you don't have to do the modification using the Cat5 wire. You do not need to cut or modify the black plastic ring that comes with the 556S, just put it in front of the black lip that you speak of and use a small wire tie to make the loop smaller and tighter around the key cylinder in front of the black lip. Follow the wires leaving the ring you found and just finished reposition around the key cylinder(should be black & BLACK/ red). Reconnect the wires to their respective wires at the 2 pin plug.

I finally got my autostart back to working again!!! Big thank you shout outs to Flobee4, Chev104275 and k_fish. I really appreciate you guys helping me with this issue!!!! R.Cameron

Yeah putting the ring back on and also I found one end of the 12v constant wire had been disconnected from some of the other wiring. I would have never figured it out without your help. Thx again R.Cameron
