Is the toggle switch flipped the wrong direction? is the hood pin keeping it from starting?

the 550esp is an older unit that uses actual relays, some installers run 10ga wire from under the hood right off the battery for power to the relay satelite. have you checked that out? there will be a fuse at the battery to protect this wire, if it was installed that way.

i wondered because you've covered the bases pretty well. do you know which wire off the unit is the wire that can be used to trigger the remote start from some other unit? if you find that and try to trigger it and it starts then your problem is not the remote start itself, but maybe the remote.....
