remote start and check engine light

Did you test that wire to see if it acts the same way using the key ?If i Can't Install it    I Don't need it   Joe

No but it seems to have gotten rid of the issue. My next issue that I am just now realizing that I have is that for some reason the deluxe 500 isn't disarming the factory alarm. I got 480 ohms by using a 470 and a 10 ohm resistor but it still isn't disarming. I might need to play with the setting a little more and see if I can get it to disarm.

the issue is not the resistors the unit is just malfunctioning, I am getting no output all all from the wire that is supposed to be the disarm ouput. I messed with all the programming of the unit and nothing, it will arm, just not disarm, awesome when you have no way of shutting off the alarm.

I ended up having to trigger the disarm using the door unlock wire and a relay. So far I am not having any issues with an alarm when started with the remote starter and now I can actually use the bulldog remote to unlock the truck without getting an alarm when opening the door. I did figure out that there was no output from the disarm wire on the unit and it was faulty. I contacted bulldog and I was told to send it back for warranty repairs. I decided I would just deal with it as I have it, because I probably wouldn't get the unit back for 6 months and I really just don't want to deal with that. Seems to be some crappy quality control they have, and I was also told by one person I had a lifetime warranty on the unit and the other customer service said only a year, so I guess no one is on the same page either. If I was going to do it again, I would have bought a different brand.
