2002 ford explorer, viper 791xv

Ok I got the remote start to work but as soon as it starts it shuts down. I have to put the key in the run ignition to keep it running. Is this normal without the bypass? I am guessing with the bypass it fakes the key being in the run position until I put the real key in?SubLinX Technologies

You're missing an ignition or accessory wire.  Which colors do you have hooked up to the remote start?

I have double checked all of my connections. I just got a 556SW for my 2002 Ford Explorer. It says in the manual it has to be able to start and run with the key in the ignition switch but not in the run position. That I cannot get to work. I stated the connections above. Can anyone help me with this last problem?SubLinX Technologies

Ok I figured out that I needed to set the viper to low voltage. Now it will crank and stay running with a key just inserted. I have installed the 556SW and connected the 12V poer, ground and the remote start input to the remote start input on the viper. I have to sets of keys. I insert one to the run position and wait for the theft light to cut off. The I remove that one and insert the other key and do the same thing which the manual says programs the 556SW to the same code. Of course everytime I try to start it without a key, my theft light flashes fast which I guess it will not let it start because it does not see a key. I have put the energizer around the ignition switch but still get nothing. Any ideas guys?SubLinX Technologies

You're missing the third step. First key on, security light out, key off. Repeat with second key. Operate remote starter immediately.
