after my screw up, hornet 563t, 98 ram

I would disconnect the purple wire from the starter side and see if you get the same reading on that wire during remote start. Next I would disconnect the orange / black and test purple output again. Finally I am not sure if the Yellow should have 12V + during remote start - you could jumper 12v on the wire and test remote start again. Basically 12v to 10.5v on the purple wire is insufficient grounding.

Ok..I will check those tomorrow afternoon

When you say starter side do mean past the external xcrs satellite relay? Between it and the starter itself?

Between module & XCRS. I would also try the same test between the XCRS & engine starter.

Ok so now that the holidays are over I'm finally back at it. Well I pulled apart the satellite relay and was looking and figured out if I put a jumper between the 2 points drawn with a sharpie in the picture everything worked. Well I order a new relay wire it in and it's still doing the same thing. So where do we go from here?

You chuck it because as I said earlier the purple low current relay INPUT isn't working.

Gotcha..... So it's the control box itself then?

Yes could be a blown component on that board, do NOT connect as in the photo where you marked it.
