97 Chrysler Sebring Convertible

I installed a Bulldog remote start/keyless entry rs114 on a 1997 Chrysler Sebring convertible a few weeks ago and have problems with it the whole time, but never had time to try to find out whats wrong. The keyless entry works fine, but I am having 2 problems. 1. When the car is remote started the heater/ac does not come on until you put the key in and turn it. I had looked the wires up on this site, bulldog's site ( http://bulldogsecurity.com/New%20Wires/New%20Wires/Wires/sebrc96-98.htm ) and DEI's. They all had different wires listed and I tested them with a multimeter and thought I picked the right ones. I used: 12v - pink/black starter - yellow ignition 1 - blue ignition 2 - GREEN/ red accessory - BLACK/ white I think the problem is with the accessory wire. On this site it shows the BLACK/ white wire as the Igintion 3 wire, and it says (Heat/AC). That is why I chose to hook it up to the accessory thinking it would control heat/ac. This site also has BLACK/ orange listed as Accessory and says (Blower Motor). My rs unit says if I have more than 1 accessory wire to hook both wires up to the accessory wire from it. So should I leave the wires as I have them now and just also connect the BLACK/ orange wire to the rs's accessory wire? 2. The other problem I am having is with the car not always cranking with the remote starter. It always cranks and runs at least a few seconds, but then about 75% of the time the car will cut off. If I try cranking it again, it has the same behavior - sometimes it will keep running but sometimes it will die. I've sat in the car and pushed on the gas after cranking it, and it will keep running that way. I currently have it in tachless mode. I did not feel comfortable drilling a hole to run a tach wire, so I had a local shop connect the tach wire - he said he hooked it up at the ECM. I thought maybe the problem would be corrected if I used tach mode, but this thing refuses to learn the tach, I follow the manual's instructions but everytime I hit the button to learn, it grinds the starter and does not flash that it learned. I'm assuming its not normal for a rs to grind the starter when learning the tach? Also he said he ran both a positive, and a negative tach wire. This behavior is with either one of them being used. So any ideas of what I need to do to fix this? Tach or tachless mode?

I know most people around here don't like bulldog products, but it is affordable and the one on my Camry works perfect. I will hook up the second accessory wire with a relay this weekend hopefully when I have time. The guy said he got one wire at the ECM and the other behind the instrument panel. He said most rs's use a positive, but thought maybe since it was bulldog it used a negative. This is my first experience with using tach mode/wire so I didn't know. Is there a way to test the wire(s) he ran to see if they are the correct ones? Like with a multimeter, what would they read and when?

i agree with soultinter, "bulldog is junk". i refuse to install anything made by bulldog, and if you are lucky enough to get a bulldog product working out of the box, its only a matter of time until it takes a crap. like they say.. "you get what you pay for"Mike Battaglia

damnit. bulldog sucks. i've changed my mind overnight! the rs/keyless entry on my camry messed up today. when i got home i couldn't turn the car off! after i unplugged the rs it worked like normal. called bulldog and they said they have problems with some units like that, and to try resetting the memory and if that doesn't fix it to send it for it to be fixed... but i'm not taking a chance on it again. i disconnected all the wires except the 12v/ground and lock/unlock wires and just going to use the keyless entry now. don't want to risk not being able to turn the car off again! bulldog is junk!

man way too many probs woth bulldog, hate them.  by the positive and negaive tach??????????????  What in the world is he talking about, a tach wire is AC voltage and pos or neg.  That guy who installed this had no clue about what the hell he was doing.2005 Toyota Corolla S
