probems with my first remote start

unit is a python 414. installed in to a ford five hundred. Just got done with hooking up my electric start and it wont start. locks work and so does horn and light flash. when I hit the start button I get about 3 clicks out of the unit and that's it. I check the crank wire with a test light and don't see and voltage. I am not sure what I did. thanks

Could you please list the wire you have connected from the remote start to the car, as well as the wire connections from your bypass unit. That way we can form a picture of what is going on. Are you getting flashes from the parking lights? If so how many? It will tell you what might be wrong.When all else fails, Read the Instructions

Here are a few thoughts :

1.  Did you connect the Neutral Safety Switch and set it to ON?

2.  Did you Change Menu 3, Item 1 to Option 2?  Auto trans3.  Did you change Menu 3, Item 2 to Option 4?  Tach Mode4.  Did you perform the Tach Learn process successfully?

Soldering is fun!

mike. theft light flash when useing car starter. lights do not come on when the button on the remote start is depressed. kreg 1 yes 2 no 3 no 4 i installed a tach wire wouldn't tach mode only cause a problem after car starts.

The theft light will flash if the bypass is not programmed correctly. It should be solid during remote start. When you remote start the led on the pkfm should flash, if it's not you probably have a d2d issue, I personally would just go w2w, it's only three extra wires and will eliminate any d2d issues. Your ignition wire on the PKFM should go to the main vehicle ignition, not the ignition wire on the PATS connector. You will also have to set it to auto trans mode and also learn your tach signal.

Just re-read your post about the connections you made. The RED / white h2 wire needs to be hooked up 12v. it powers the ignition circuit of the remote start unit. Nevermind, didn't have the manual pulled up it powers the 2nd ign output.

Are you getting any flashes on the parking lights after it fails to remote start? All of your connections look to be good. Are your connections soldered? Did the PKFM program as it should? As suggested in a previous post, try going W2W.When all else fails, Read the Instructions
