2003 acura tl and honda sl3

In the process of installing an audiovox aps901C with a honda sl3 bypass in a 03 TL-s. The car tries to start but fails and the green key light flashes. I programmed the SL3 but it will not come on during remote start. I applied ground directly to the blue wire on the SL3 and still it does not turn on. I tried another SL3 that I know works and same thing. I donno what is wrong. I followed the SL3 type 2 wiring diagram. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Did you put a meter on the main power input to the SL3 to make sure it is getting power? Same with the main ground.Kenny

Yes there is 12v and ground. I took the blue wire of the SL3 and put it directly to ground and the unit LED does NOT come on.

Update: The blue wire on the SL3 was not making a connection. The pin itself was broken so I fixed that. It learned the program and when I go to remote start it starts no security green light on but the car runs for only like 10 seconds before it turns off. When it tries again to start it fails with the green security light on. Help please.

Disconnect the SL3 and try remote starting it with the key in the ignition (in the off position). See if it starts and stays running.Kenny

Hasn't learned tach.

I have not connected tach. I have done others without connecting tach. I believe I have tried with the key in the ignition and it will start and then turn off also.

If it doesn't run with the key in the ignition then its not a bypass related issue. Did you program the unit for tachless operation? A tach connection is always the best way to connect the starter, but it may not necessarily be your issue here.Kenny

Well it does run, but for like 10 seconds and then shuts off. When the remote starter tries to restart it fails with the security light flashing.

And that is with the key in the ignition and the SL3 out of the car and the data wire re-connected correct? If so then it doesn't sound like a bypass issue.Kenny
