remote starter, 97 chevrolet siverado

HI guys I have a 97 chevy pickup siverado and a hornet remote started and alarm combo. When I hit the start button on my truck's remote it does not start however I hear the fuel injecter and all the lights and ACC comes on just does not crank. I had this system in the truck since 1999 (i know its old :)HAHA) and it was working fine but then about a year ago it just died all the sudden. so can it be some sort of resister in my start wire that went bad or what can it be? any help will be greatly appreciated.

Check the starter out put to the starter wire and see if it's outputting 12 volts when starting.Jeff

You mean the starter output wire on the main unit (the brain or remote starter). and I presume that it will only be 12 volts when it is attemting to start?

Yes, it will have 12 volts when the RS cranks. Check before and after the anti-grind starter ( if installed)Jeff

popeye, I'm also going to guess that your system has 4 external relays for the remote start? If that's the case you could try swapping the starter relay with the accessory one and see if it works - if it does just replace the relay.C Renner's Auto Electronix

Exactly that type...they would probably not be taped, but there would be 4 harness connectors for them which lock together. I'm not sure when DEI originally started making their remote starts like that but I know they were still making those in late 2002, so I'd assume yours is a similar design.C Renner's Auto Electronix

OK I'll accually go and check that out and I will also try what Velocity told me to do thanks alot.

Here is the manual for my starter but what is the starter output wire http://www.directed.com/guides/manuals/ig/hornet/N553T.pdf

the starter wire is the purple wire.
