Viper 160xv Remote Start, 2001 Toyota Corolla

I was updating my most recent post when you posted. You should verify proper voltages at the ignition switch. However, I also think you should know the extent of your issue since it still didn't start when you bypassed the relay.My ex once told me I have a perfect face for radio.

I definitely agree with you that I will have to work thru ALL the “no start” issues so I am trying to tackle them one at a time. The first thing is to get the engine to attemp to start when I turn the key by getting power to the control side of the start relay. Thanks for the wiring diagram links.

Maybe they installed ignition kill relay in addition to starter kill.Steve G

You probably already have this but here’s a link just in case. https://www.the12volt.com/addfile/files.asp?s=1373631&f=160XV+IM%2EpdfSteve G

Iskidoo I had not seen that installation guide before, thanks. The Best Buy tech said he doesn’t think there would be an ignition kill relay

Problem solved, it was poor troubleshooting on my part😖. I “thought “ I had checked all the fuses under the hood and inside the car, if I did I somehow missed that there was a 15amp fuse under the hood that was blown. I can’t say enough good things about Jeremy at Best Buy in Knightdale NC, he was extremely helpful, willing to take time over the phone to lead me to the problem. I spoke with him three or four times over the course of two days, he was very patient and extremely knowledgeable about how the remote was connected. He guided me on where to probe the remote harness and then he looked up the wiring for my Toyota and told me basically where I was losing the voltage that powered both the remote start “brain” and the regular key start function. End result is I went back at Jeremy’s request and probed the fuses again this time checking for voltage rather than continuity and found the bad fuse.
