Hello all, first post. Looking for some help. Any insight is appreciated!
Vehicle: 2001 Chevy Suburban 2500 4x4. It came factory with the 6.0, but now has a 6.3 built stroker motor and custom street tune by Patrick Guerra.
Alarm / Remote Start system is a Clifford Matrix 510.4X. I'm also using an IB-BMBP bypass module.
I have installed maybe 10 car stereos, one previous remote start system in a '96 Acura, and I built and swapped my LS-based stroker engine myself - so I know my way around a car. This system, however is kicking my butt these last few days.
First of all, I used this link as the baseline for my install:
https://www.the12volt.com/installbay/forum_posts.asp~TID~50790
Tons of helpful info in there, however some of the wire colors listed are wrong for my vehicle. I'm not sure if it's because my truck is a 2500 or not:
1. The 12-awg orange wire in my ignition switch harness is an ignition wire. The link above says it's an accessory wire.
2. The 16-awg white wire in my ignition switch harness is a accessory wire (key forward one click). The link above says it's an ignition wire.
3. The 12-awg brown wire in my ignition switch harness is a 2nd accessory wire (key back one click). The link above does not specify a 2nd accessory wire.
As the truck sits today, the system is installed and all relevant connections are made (as far as I know). I installed the IB-BMBP module per instructions and I got the 4 blinks from the LED to indicate successful programming. I have also gone into the alarm menu to change transmission type to Automatic, changed the "Engine Checking Mode" to Tachometer, and changed the cranking time to 1.2 seconds.
Here is what WORKS:
1. Keyless entry. I used relays to transfer the negative output signal to a positive signal, and the locks work as they should.
2. Door triggers. I used the (-) input wire and diodes to isolate the individual circuits. The alarm will go off if a door is opened while armed.
3. Hood trigger, works as the doors do.
4. Siren. It chirps on lock/unlock, and will go full on when a door triggers the alarm.
Here is what DOESN'T WORK:
1. Remote start. When I push the button, nothing happens. About 10 seconds later, I hear the "brain" of the system make switching noises, like a relay turning on and off (click-a sound). It does this 7 times. I read somewhere else that I may need a "self learning" bypass module because I have a custom tune on my vehicle - I don't know anything else about that.
2. Shock sensor - Stinger Doubleguard. No matter what the sensitivity is set at, it will not trigger the alarm at all. It is currently connected to the brain with just the blue signal wire and power/ground. The green wire is jumpered to the blue wire at the sensor output. The LED inside the shock sensor will not light up at all.
3. Parking lights - I cannot measure any signal coming from the "PARKING LIGHT OUTPUT" from the brain, when I push the lock/unlock buttons. There is no signal at all, positive or negative. I have, however, located the correct wire to tie into. This wire takes a straight +12V signal to illuminate the parking lights.
Here is how I made my connections:
1. Chassis ground to body of truck. I measured 0.1-0.2 Ohm resistance to the battery terminal from this ground point.
2. 12V power with 8-awg wire and 30a fuse through grommet in firewall.
3. Starter input and output are as they should be.
4. Neutral safety switch is plugged in and ON.
5. The "(-) NEUTRAL SAFETY INPUT" wire is connected to ground.
6. The Brown "(-) INPUT" wire from the IB-GMBP module is connected to the "(-) 200mA STATUS OUTPUT" on the brain.
7. The "TACHOMETER INPUT" wire is connected to the white wire at pin #10 of the red PCM connector.
8. The "(+) BRAKE SHUTDOWN INPUT" wire is connected to the white wire at the pedal switch assembly.
9. The "(-) 200mA OEM ALARM DISARM OUTPUT" wire is connected to the correct wire in the truck BCM harness.
The following wires are currently not connected to anything:
PARKING LIGHT ISOLATION WIRE - PIN 87a of onboard relay
(-) 500mA GROUND WHEN ARMED OUTPUT
(+) FLEX RELAY INPUT 87A key side (if required) of FLEX RELAY
(-) 200mA IGNITION / FLEX RELAY CONTROL OUTPUT
(-) 200mA 2ND STATUS / REAR DEFOGGER OUTPUT
(-) 200mA TRUNK RELEASE OUTPUT
(-) 200mA DOME LIGHT SUPERVISION OUTPUT
(-) 200mA HORN HONK OUTPUT
(-) 200mA IGNITION 1 OUTPUT
(-) 200mA AUX 3 OUTPUT
(+) DOOR TRIGGER INPUT
(-) 200mA AUX 1 OUTPUT
(-) 200mA AUX 2 OUTPUT
(-) 200mA AUX 4 OUTPUT
(-) 200mA STARTER OUTPUT
(-) TRUNK PIN / INSTANT TRIGGER INPUT (N/C OR N/O)
(-) DIESEL WAIT TO START INPUT
(-) REMOTE START TURBO TIMER ACTIVATION INPUT
(-) 200mA ACCESSORY OUTPUT
(-) 200mA OEM ALARM ARM OUTPUT
Sorry for the long post, I am very detail-oriented and I didn't want to leave anything out.
I am grateful for any help or direction with these problems.
Thanks for reading.
