How did you connect the BLACK/ green wire off of the Intellistart module?

BLACK/ Green is going to +12V when the e-brake is engaged.  0V when the e-brake is disengaged.

If your car is a manual b/ack/green must not be connected to anything, definately not ground.

My mistake, BLACK/ Green is not grounded nor is it hooked to anything.  I was thinking about the Blue/Green that goes to the e-brake.  I cannot figure it out.  If I ground the BLACK/ Green wire, the car will start fine, and act as it should.  But when I unhook the BLACK/ Green to let the alarm know it is a manual transmission, it will not start, even after the manual transmission mode procedure.  This is the procedure I'm doing:

Start the car.

Press * on companion remote

Turn off the key, remove it.

Car stays running.

Exit car

Arm Alarm

Car stays running until I re-enter and re-insert the key into the ignition and hit the brakes.  When the brakes are tapped, the car will turn off when the key is turned off.  It's acting like it's still in automatic mode.  I checked the BLACK/ Green wire all the way back to the Intellistart IV, and it is NOT grounded anywhere. 

When I go into the Cliffnet software, it shows the car to be in manual transmission mode, but all of the actions of the alarm is telling me it's still in automatic transmision mode.  What else can I try?

This is the second and last time I'm going to tell you, you are using thre wrong procedure to enable the remote start. Read what I wrote 2 or three posts ago, I even told you what buttons to press * will only start the vehicle once enabling process has been done the Mondeo family is one of the easiest R/S jobs going, you don't even need a transponder by-pass if you know what you're doing.

I'm TERRIBLY sorry.  I misunderstood your post.  I misread the manual.  I am an idiot. 

Tried the correct sequence.  What do you know, it works like a charm. Thanks to everyone who stuck it out with me.  You guys rock!  Where can I paypal beer money to? 99 ford contour, avantguard 4 - Page 4 - Last Post -- posted image.

Don't worry, we've all been guilty of that one, my trick is to advise people on relays then wrongly wire them for myself and manage to blow up alarm brains!
