if it was a newer ford,  i say it's the dome light wire/door pin  since the car goes into sleep mode.. however if it's a 93 don't think they had back then.. does it "chirp" the siren/ flash  the lights ? with an error message ?

 what i am finding out is the remote is multifunction, press the button breifly and it will do a function, but hold that same button for 2 or more seconds and it will activate the remote starter, I spoke with a tech guy at compustar and he stated they were in the process of printing brand new operator manuals, mine states 2 seconds for remote starting but it seems more like 3 seconds is required to start it, the only issue i'm having with the 1WFM is with remote range which currently is way short of the advertised 1200 ft, I mounted the anntena in the left top part of the windshield horizontally as stated but my range is far less then that,

I have had a few compustars with intermittent starter relay inside the brain.  is your clutch bypass working  you dont need one in that car just go to the starter wire on the other side of the clutch switch.      try setting it up in the car and when you start it hold in the clutch

 Yes, I can remote start the car, using the extra relay provided with the unit triggered by the second ignition wire,

 I tried everything suggested to get more range out of my Compustar 1WFM like install new remote battery, ground to car battery, extend the antena wire up into the pillar so none of it is bundled up and make sure its not pinched, this gave me some more range but its about less then half of its advertised distance of 1200ft, i give up!
