viper 5706v remote start issue

I've tore these forums up and down and just can't seem to find a solution for my remote start. Vehicle is a 2008 F350 CC w/diesel. Cannot get the vehicle to start with the remote start button. PKALL isn't hooked up completly yet, but key is off in the ignition. When the r/s button is pressed the remote shows the vehicle "running". The radio comes on and the lights as well, but never cranks over. I do get a 3 flash code, low or no rpm. Any and all help would be appreciated. ThanksJosh

First thought is tach. Have you wired tach and programmed the unit? Start engine, within 5 seconds hold control button, A blue light should come on within a few seconds. Tach learnt. Set unit for tach reading? Menu 3 option 4 If not make sure unit is set for virtual tach.Test before boxing up.

Yup, I have tried that. Even turned the tech mode off, and voltage mode. Supposedly virtual tach isn't for diesel motors. It's weird, cause the radio comes on and stays on, and you can hear the unit clicking. Brake wire is hooked up and works alsoJosh

Possibly a silly thought, but are all three thick H3 +12V fused power wires ( Red, RED / Black and RED / White ) connected to a good +12V constant source?Soldering is fun!

Oh come on Kregg that was the next stage! By the way virtual tach works fine on diesels.Test before boxing up.

Yes all three of the thick wires, are soldered to the blue/red constant going into the ignition switchJosh

I think now is the time to show us your connections, use the excell method as described in the post at the top of this page. One other thing use your DMM and measure the voltage between your ground point and all of your fused inputs.Test before boxing up.

I do believe i have my H2/22 and H3/3 wired to BROWN / yellow. Could this be a problem or can i change that in the viper programming menuJosh

NO! Disconnect immediately! "H2/10 PINK (-) 200mA IGNITION 1 OUTPUT---WHITE/ orange at ign " And again! "H2/18 VIOLET / YELLOW (-) 200mA STARTER OUTPUT----tied into H3/4 starter output wire " And yet again!! "H2/22 ORANGE (-) 200mA ACCESSORY OUTPUT------hooked to BROWN / yellow accessory " H2/16 BROWN (+) BRAKE SHUTDOWN INPUT----violet/white above brake pedal Make sure this only goes to 12V+ when you push on the brake pedal. H3/7 PINK/WHITE (30) FLEX RELAY OUTPUT (car side of ign, acc or starter wire)------PURPLE / green acc2 wire Connect to BROWN / yellow and program as 2nd. ACC. If you're very lucky you might not have fried the R/S part of your unit. Are the fuses intact?Test before boxing up.

Ok, H2/10, H2/18, and H2/22 wires disconneced. I did use a DMM on all the fused wires and they are getting power on both side of the fuse, just to make sure a fuse isnt loose or anything. I did test the violet starter wire when hitting the r/s button and it only goes up to about 4.5 volts instead of the 14v when cranking with the keyJosh
