Ok, so I've a PKF1 for my 1999 Ford Contour from bypasskit.com. I have hooked it up as follows:

TX: WHITE/ Green

RX: Gray/Orange

GND: BLACK/ Green

IGN: GREEN/ Black

Here's the Problem. When I "program the module", with my PATS key, then use my non-PATS key to start the car, it works fine. Then, I'll turn the car off, and wait until the PATS system is activated and try it again. Only this time, my non-PATS key will not work, unless I reprogram the module.

It's as if the PKF1 module is not saving the correct information from the PATS key when the system is disengaged.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

did you hook up the Brown wire from the bypass to your Status output of the starter?

when you say non-pats, are you saying that you are using a non-chipped key to start your car?

or are you saying after you remote start your non-chipped key doesnt work?

bypass module is used to temporarily bypass the PATS during remote start, you will still need your PATS key that you used to program the bypass to drive the car.

This is in my Clifford AG4 box. The part number on the bag is 30-835. Is this a temperature switch?

Yes it is used on the g3 and g4 series cliffords to acuate the remote start on cold days ,the temp had to be programed by the clifnet wizzard on the g4 series.Have not seen one of these in years 99 ford contour, avantguard 4 -- posted image.

So, since it gets cold here, should I put it on the car? Where and how does it hookup?

Clamped to top radiator hose. Actually I thought it was simply a temperature sensing device that grounded the hood switch thus preventing R/S being used if too hot.

Hello all. I am installing an Avantguard 4 on my 1999 Ford Contour SVT. I am to the point of hooking up the windshield wipers. What function does this alarm do with the wipers?

Also, I have not been able to find a wiring diagram with the windshield wiper wires on it. Does anyone know where I can find the wiper wire?

Thanks for the help!

If wired correctly,including headlamps it will bring on the headlamps as soon as you operate the wipers. Open steering column cowl, check leads coming from wiper switch, one of these will either go pos or neg when you engage first speed on wipers.

I have an Avantguard 4 that is being fitted to my 99 ford contour. I am using Cliffnet Pro trying to access the Intellistart IV, but the icon in the program never comes up. It is always greyed out. What will cause this? I have the data cable coming straight off the AG4 to the Intellistart IV, then out of that, I run it to the laptop...is this correct?

Thanks

Ok, so I figured that issue out. Now for another. When I go to set my car in "manual transmission mode". The parking lights will blink once (instead of twice like they should). In the install manual, it lists what to do if your lights blink 3,4,5, or 6 times...but not once. Does anyone know what this means?
