dei 160xvl remote start issue

i wouldnt think that would be the problem....    when you say "everything else works"     what do you mean?   doors lock and unlock?   do the park lights flash when you hit the lock unlock buttons?   (this will tell you that the ant and remotes are ok)

only things that will prevent RS is a shorted gray hood pin wire or an open BLACK/ white NSS wire.....  unplug the connector from the brain and meter the grey hood pin wire to verify it is open...it may be shorting going thru the firewall... also meter the BLACK/ white NSS wire to verify that it is seeing ground all the time....

are you pressing the RS button 2 times within 4 seconds?   as is the default ?    (i always program this model to 1 press activation on DEI's recommendation).....
