ultrastart 72 series program issue

ok..won't touch it at all then. np. I know a guy at my work that used to install car alarms.. will ask him tomorrow and post back when I get some results.

wow there is actually 1 in this small town. 11 miles away i know right where they are, just wondering if they charge by the hour or what. have to stop in and see

Ok so just got off the phone when them, They told me those 2 wires the horn and tach are not mandatory in order for the remote start to work. its just quite and no chirm/honk. im gonna buy some batterys tomorrow and try that, if that dont work then, i might have to take it in and have them look at it.

Keep us posted. Also put electrical tape over the top of the fuses on the heavy gauge harness

Ok so ultra start support got back to me, said: The horn may not have been connected. Do the ignition key cycle- ON OFF ON OFF ON Press and hold the program switch Wait 5 seconds then press the lock button on each of the remotes to be programmed Release the program switch You may need to try this several times to get the remotes programmed. I did this, then after i turn the key off, take the key out and hit the lock button, it dont work, but the valet switch LED comes on. ive tried about 20 times, still no go, dont know what it means when i hit the lock button and program led comes on.

Personally, I feel the Horn beep is a very valuable audible confirmation tool while programming the Ultra Start units. When I program the bench prepped unit ( still on the bench ), I connect a small piezo tone generator to the Horn output wire to help me thru the programming menus.     Verify that the Antenna Harness is securely plugged in at both ends. As mentioned before, verify that the U1272's thick Blue Ignition 1 wire is seeing the +12V when you cycle the ignition key to Run and back to OFF. Try a Factory Reset. Sometimes I have been lost in the menus / valet mode / etc. and a Factory Reset gets things back to normal.Soldering is fun!

how do ya do a factory reset then? also do they sell those at radio shack or do ya have to buy them online, Thanks

It would be cheaper just to connect the U1272 to the vehicles horn wire, but here is an inexpensive piezo buzzer from RadioShack : http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productid=2062397 The Black lead goes to the U1272 Horn Output and the Red lead to +12V constant ( either thick U1272 Red wire ). Factory Reset 1 - Cycle the Ignition Key On/Off On/Off On (Leaving the key ON) 2 - Press and RELEASE the Program Switch 1 time. (HORN will chip to confirm that program mode was entered) 3 - Press and HOLD the Program Switch for until the HORN Chirps 3 times. 4 - Turn ignition key OFF to exit. Note- System reset does not delete the transmitter codes from memory or reset Menu 3 Setting 1 (selectable Output) back to second ignition. This setting must be manually changed.Soldering is fun!

yea but i cant find the vehicle horn im not that expierenced in vehicle wiring. I know there are wires int eh steering column, the horn one is there somewhere... if the horn wire and tach wire were broke or cut , you would see the other ends dangling,,, just wonder why the tach wasnt hooked up..

No Tach connection on your car = lazy installer, IMHO. The Ultra Start's Tachless start works pretty good and it will try 3 times to start your car, but the Tach Method, when properly connected and programmed, always starts the car on the first try. Much better for cold climates, again IMHO.Soldering is fun!
