intellistart ford mondeo/contour

damn howie, you do deserve more stars, but i guess mods are working up a new requiremnt to achieve stars.

I screwed up the IGNITION WIRE is GREEN/ BLUE  fromthe I/Start module, that's your main ign output back to the cars ign side loom heavy workload, heavy cold = lousey 3 day asthma and I'm wacked out on antibiotics, steroids and ever stronger puffers!

LOL, easily done. Had me a bit confused though. Right, Checked that wires, all checking out fine. Thanks allot for your help Howie, Much appreciated. Just to let you see whats happening, Youtube vid Anyone else got any ideas?

Just a couple of quick questions. You say you fitted these before? what did you connect the tach wire to? I'm away to try and connect the tach wire to a different point. Looking at the connections on here it says tach      WHITE/ Black        Or WHITE/ Green (-) at ICM Connector Where and what is the ICM Connector?

Just a quick update for anyone that is interested. I've got it working. I cheated a little bit. After an awful lot of double, triple and quadruple checking my wiring I came to the conclusion that it was defiantly a tach signal problem. So I purchased a second had Intellistart from eBay, guessing it would still be programmed. I was right, all I had to do was swap it over with my one and away she went. So by my reckoning it was either a weak tach signal (although I tried 3 different places) or a faulty intellistart. I dare not try and program the tach to this one. My only problem is I need to set the voltage threshold as I accidentally left my dome light on and batter went flat. It would have been good if the intellistart kept the battery charged. As far as I have been lead to believe this can only be done via the cliffnet wizard but Howie has scared me by saying the software is flawed and there’s a risk of corrupting the settings and possibly forcing me to reprogram the tach and being right back to square one. Is there no way this can be done via the valet switch? Anyone got any views on universal transponder bypass? I have glued a transponder to the RF ring but it's a bit temperamental, sometimes works, sometimes not. It's also stopping the key transponder from registering sometimes. I have to mess about with the key before it registers.
