2006 mazda tribute bypass problems

I installed an ADS-TBSL-KO bypass module yesterday along side a CS-2014DP remote start. This was my first experience with a "Ford" bypass system and I'm have a few problems with it. According to the wiring diagrams I got with the bypass, it pulls power from the PATS 12 volt power off the ignition switch connector. (at least this was what I understood.) I end up getting the fast red LED flash after I select type two and insert the first key and turn on the ignition. According to the troubleshooting portion of the instructions, a fast flashing red LED means a hook-up issue. I swapped the RX-TX connections (after resetting the module) and still ended up with the same problem. Does the power connection require a constant 12volts? I'm at a loss here for a fix.The Duck

Here's the wiring diagram that I used.The Duck

red is constant 12

ignition, use the PINK wire on the key cylinder. i had an issue similar like this. After checking my wires twice, same thing. Found out the unit was defective.

Thanks for the quick reply tedmond.The Duck

man im sorry, the ignition wire is GREEN/ Purple.  I kept thinking about GM based vehicles. sorry man. also the TX and RX wires, dont just splice and connect them and tape. Take ur time and at least solder these 2 joints.

i have only used 1 idatalink unit before. not too familliar with the unit itself, but i can tell u that ur mazda is a single wire lock/unlock through 1k resistor. also the PATS  wires. RX -  RED / Black TX - BROWN / Orange

if you have any difficulties in the programing the keys read this thread before you get frustrated like i did.

oops i forgot the link, sorry click here

Once again, Thanks for the help on this!! I was able to get this bad boy up & running with the bypass. (A painful lesson was learned with the "Red 12V" label. It needs to be on constant 12 volts not switched.) It took the programming after a few botched attempts. I was really happy not to see the flashing red LED not come back.The Duck

In the words of H.J. Simpson The wire I'm test'n isn't doin' what it's supposed to be doin'... I am so glad I printed that tech sheet, with the wrong info.

Do it right the first time... or I might have to fix it for ya
