Sadly I do not. I also was just reading on the DB-all instructions, that the TACH wire may need to be connected cause its not supported in D2D for all applications, but if this was the issue I think it would still try to start and just die right away, or never turn over...right??? I mean i'll hook it up, its one more wire no big deal but im not sure its the issue. Like i said its odd cause it worked several times and then all the sudden just stopped working. I can always go to a local shop and buy new antenna/see if they have extra antenna cable. Thanks again

get the vehicle back in and check it. definitely run tach.Ted

Ok kind of a dumb question...but do you think its worth reflashing the DB-ALL and is that ok to do....I have never had to reflash one....im just curious if thats ok to do...I mean it should be, but thought i would ask. Thank you

you can always reflash, then reprogram. doesnt hurt to do so. make sure youre using master keys (black key head)Ted

I will try all of these things, i can get the car back Saturday, so stay tuned for an update. Thank you again for all your help

OK so i got the car back today. I plugged everything back in ( i had removed the db-all and brain box) thought to myself, lets give it a shot....hit the button it fired right up. I have spent the last few hours testing it, doors locked...unlocked...everything. it appeared to be working fine. So i pull it out and decide to let it sit. It sat for about 40 min, i went to hit it, and it fired up but the alarm (factory) started going off. Should i just hook up the the disarm wire right from the unit at this point???? Thank you

You might as well just connect the disarm and save yourself the hassle. How long were you letting it sit while testing it? The factory alarm doesn't normally arm until roughly 30seconds after locking on some cars.Kenny

yea i was starting it and testing it pretty fast.....i already have the car back in an apart....the cirb sheet i have says its in the drivers kick and brown....but thats not to helpful....can you shed any light on this wire and its location....thank you

in the driver kick panel, look for 2 grey wire looms. the tape is siliar to 3m fabric tape. in the harness above, you will find a brown disarm wire. roughly 22+ gauge. its thin so careful when stripping it. test by turning key in the door. Ted
