My connections are posted above in a previous reply.
I believe my 1401 may be slightly older than the manuals online. The factory included reference clearly has H3/1 PINK as the (+) IGNITION 1 INPUT/OUTPUT wire.
If you think a faulty or incorrect ignition wire connection is likely to cause this, I'll triple check it once the sun comes back up.

Oh my bad, I see what you are saying lurch.
I wrote up my connection reply based on my notes. I knowI madea connection to the WHITE/ green at the ignition harness, which should be the heavy gauge pink (H3/1). I'll double check that ignition connection tomorrow. I may have put ignition 2 (H3/6) pink/white to it instead and connected pink to pink of the DBALL2.
Actually maybe I can check that now with a flashlight...

Alright, I just checked and I do have PINK (+) IGNITION 1 INPUT/OUTPUT going to the DBALL2 and PINK/WHITE (+) IGNITION 2 going to the ignition switch.
This now makes sense as to why it isn't work. I'll try to fix it in the morning and report back.
Thank you again!

All the required H3 Connections go to the vehicle not the DBALL,and are required unless you are activating a OEM (Factory) R/S.
No DBALL Diagram segmented connections need to be hooked up even if they are connected to solid wires for D2D mode they are all done thru data. Including the ignition between the R/S and DBALL!

Yeah but the diagram I'm going off of (Firmware GM5, Installation type 2) has solid lines from ignition and starter outputs on the R/S to the ignition and starter inputs on the DBALL2. I know all the dashed lines aren't required but these lines are solid.
Not that I or this documentation has been infallible...

R/S to DBALL (+)starter and ignition outputs, Will be in addition to connecting to the vehicle Ignition and Starter wires. That's why it shows a solid tied connection to the vehicle Symbol for both in the DBALL2 guide.

When you connect to the vehicle wires connect both to the Ignition and starter wires.

Success! Thanks to geepherder, howie, and lurch for helping out.
So I switch the connection I had for Pink and Pink/White from the R/S and that allowed me to get into programming. The diagram I had for the DBALL2 didn't have the tied connection like Lurch's previous post so I kept pink/white connected to the DBALL2 input rather than having it come from pink. If it works the way I think it does it is basically doing the same thing.
Also, I did not have the H3 red, RED / black, and RED / white wires connected (I believe lurch noted this before). I thought those wires weren't needed because they weren't explicitly mentioned in the DBALL2 instructions and D2D was able to use the existing power for starting. It is clear to me now that "12V Input" means all 12V inputs and not just the one simply labelled 12V input. Without these three wires connected if you try to remote start the system it tries to start it but it simply doesn't have any juice to do so, and it will try to start it 3 times due to failures.
That was probably more information than needed, but hopefully it will help someone as naive as myself. Thank again guys.
