Where did you connect the hood pin? DEI shows:
Hood Pin      blue/black      -      ETACS ECU, pin 48
Notes: The ETACS ECU is attached to the back of the fuse box.
It should register ground when open and either +12v or nothing when closed. DEI does not mention anything about it being normally closed..

I can't think straight anymore.  I was getting more and more wizzed everytime I got that stupid hood open error message.   I connected the hood pin wire to C1 26 pink/black.  I will try connecting to the ecu tomorrow offroadz.  Thanks for the offer Kreg, I will just pick one up from the parts store or something tomorrow and hopefully be done with this.

I was able to reprogram the module after a few tries and all the door triggers are working and coming up on the two way remote.  Hopefully this bad boy cranks right up after the hood pin issue is resolved.  Thanks again for everyones help.

For testing purposes, you can temporarily leave the Hood Pin Status wire disconnected.  The remote start function will work without it, you just won't have that safety feature.  
Soldering is fun!

Great Success (borat voice),

This morning I had some time to look at the van again.  I learned to read the instructions and program most of my problems away. Newbe mistakes but I got it figured out.  The hood pin I still have to look into but the remote starter is working beautifully.  All my connections were proper, it wasn't starting becuase it was in manual mode.  I changed it to auto, learned the tach, and that was that.  I started the van in my bedroom 13 stories up from the underground garage.  Pretty sweet.  Thank you to Kreg, Offroadz, Tedmond plus the website for all your guys help, especially Kreg, thanks bud.  Iearned a lot with the install and it feels damn good to get it done.

The bad news to the story is as I was taking my gf to dinner, the van's cv joint took a crap for no good reason.  Got the van on the road last week, only had 60k miles on it. That's a problem my mechanic can worry about, could use the break. lol

Two thumbs up!   viper 5901, 2005 montana sv6 - Page 4 -- posted image.  Outstanding job, and a transplant to boot.  The next one will be even easier...

Just make sure you get the hood pin figured out or the aftermarket pin put in as soon as possible. And when you bring it to your mechanic make sure to disable the starter (either with the toggle switch or by pulling the fuses). Last thing you want is to find out your mechanic lost a hand b/c it remote started when he was working around the fan...
