Astrostart series 1000, 95 Mazda Millenia

Regardless of what is causing this problem (hope its not a defective unit) it appears the installer "hammer bagged" this one. I would go over everything.

Keep us posted.

OOOOps....sorry, I was thinking about the 1105. The 1000 is like so.

when the hood is opened, and the contact is closed put 2, and 3 up, then hit the brake, put them down, hit the brake.

                                                            contact is open, put 2, 3, and 4, up...do the brake thing.

I can't really critisize the "astrostarts" as I have no experience with them.

But this kind of programming procedure seems "audiovoxish". Or at least like the older ones.

They worked fine, were reliable, and straight forward install, but any programming issues were at the least a bit tricky and time consuming.

But perhaps I am somewhat "spoiled" from using only DEI products for the last several years.

Not to say DEI is any better quality, it just seems that an issue like this would have taken under a minute to rectify.

And I question the install integraty due to that fact there is no hoodpin connection, that displays to me that safety and liability were not a factor in this particular install..so why would quality be?

regardless, Kar Tuneman apparently knows his stuff so hopefully you are on your way.

again, luck be with you.

I use the multitest 2 to program and check errors in programming. (astros version of the bitwritter) Those dip switches are a pain.....

Ahhh......So astrostart is on top of it's game.

Good to know.

Wow, pretty amazing that it took a jump start to discover that many things were wrong with it.

So in a sense it was a good thing that the battery died.

Glad you are back in business.

Thanks everyone, I also learned alot about the astros.
