Hi, I have recently installed this Scytek alarm with remote start in my 2000 Suburban with keyless entry. Everything works great....with one exception. Once the remote start button is activated, the accessories energize, then the car attempts to start. It will crank, but never turn over. I have tied into the tach wire per instruction, I have configured the remote start module using the dip switches.

I can start the car with the key, activate the remote start, and remove my key leaving the vehicle running. Leaving the key resting in the ign. cylinder will not start it either.

Where did you get the tach at? try to be as specific as possible. It sounds like you don't have the right wire. What did you use to bypass the passlock II?

I don't have the wiring sheet in front of me, but best I can remember it came from the plug closest to the fender from the ECM, I think terminal 10. White wire for sure.

Maybe my splice sucks

Well I get the tach the easy way, take out the gauge cluster and its the white wire in the harness there is only 1 plug and 1 white wire, solder this connection. this should help...

What's the best way to get access behind the gauges?

You'll have to take the trim piece off the front of your dash it is 1 big piece that goes over around radio/heat controls and back around/over gauge clusterh. You'll need to move your shift lever all the way down to first to make removing this possible. Once that is removed you'll have 4- 7mm screws to remove and the gauge clsuter will be removable, you'll then see the plug as described.

Wait a sec, if the tach wire isn't signaling to the alarm module, then wouldn't the starter continue to crank and crank?

Test the wire you think is a tach lead with a mulit meter, i'll bet as soon as the ignition is energized it shows voltage not when the vehicle is running ie telling the remote start that is running so the remote start will not engage the starter.

That white I think is tach is only delivering 6vdc with ignition on and at rest. So looking at the wiring to the inst. cluster, which one is the tach wire? The white there delivers 12v with ign. in on, and started.

geauxnow,

Did you catch xtremej's second question, in his first response to you?

Have you performed some sort of interface with the car's PASSLock II anti-theft system.......either with resistors and/or relays (not highly recommended) or a bypass module like a DEI 555L, Audiovox AS-GM4, etcetera?

--Turn the ignition on with the key, and observe all the dash lights that come on. You'll see a square panel in the lower-left of the instrument cluster..........it should first light up orange and say "SECURITY," and then change into a red picture of a battery and stay that way.

--Next, turn the key off and try the remote start......is that square panel behaving the same way, or differently?

--If you get a flashing "SECURITY" icon when attempting to remote start, your PASSLock bypass isn't right.
