Have you used a DMM to test and verify the wires that you are connecting to???? 

We can't SEE under your dash to know what you have.  I don't know for sure if you have a 2nd ignition. Only you can do that.

What make/model is the remote starter.

In the installation manual, starting on page 13 is a section for  Finding the wires you need.  As far as trusting people vs sites, they are only a guide. Trust your DMM and YOUR testing of the wires. You are the one under the dash.

Also why the purple door trigger wire rather than the green?
Think DEI DTI Mazda for the door triggers unless that unit can be programmed for open circuit door triggers (Ford's crazy door triggering). I know the 5902 can I don't know about the others.

Connecting to Pink/white to the BLACK/ green and the RED / White to Yellow(12v) dont solve the problem with the dash been on at all times.

I think the system think the remote start has been activated, i unpluged all the harnesses and plug them back in back dash came back on.

I have no ideal what the problem is

Disconnect the wires one by one until the problem goes away. You either have something connected incorrectly or the remote start has a bad relay. You could, alternatively, meter each wire to see where you have voltage when you shouldn't. It sounds like possibly your IGN1 output is powering the ignition at all times. I would start there.

It is that i know, by remove Pink (ign 1 ) problem stops.  Pink (ign1) gets power from Red (12v Constant) which is connected to Yellow (12v Constant on Car).  Removing Red (12v Constant) Stop problem too. This problem appears only when  H3 is connected So the problem is with it. Is there a wire on harness that acts as ground or redirects power when system inactive that i have not connect or connect incorrectly.

Neutral Safety Switch has No Control over this problem, flipping switch did nothing

The only thing that will cause the unit to output 12vdc on the ignition output is if you remote start the vehicle. 

Unhook the red wire and the pink wire completely, unhook the main harness from the brain, and measure resistance between red and pink.  It sounds like it will read ~0 which will indicate a stuck relay.  It may be possible to strike the relay to unstick it, but in my experiance once a relay contact has stuck it won't be as reliable as a new relay.  If you determine the relay is bad I would recomend a warranty replacement.
