automate am1 remote start issue

I have a 05 Mountaineer With the Automate AM1 autostart. I have my shift arm replaced cause it got broken. But now my autostart doesn't work. When I active it on my remote, my radio comes on and my dash lights up but the car doesn't start. Can anyone help me in determining what the issue is. When I look under the dash panel, I see a bunch of wires with no set pattern. I just need to be guided in the right direction. Thanks in advance on any advice given.R.Cameron

What does the theft light on the dash do when you try to remote start the truck ? Flash fast ?If i Can't Install it    I Don't need it   Joe

Yes it flashes fastR.Cameron

hasani24, did you do the install of the remote start or the replacement part yourself? If not, I suggest downloading the installation manual for your remote start, look up the wiring diagram for your car on this forum, and then double check all the wirings. Whoever replaced the parts might have accidentally cut or loosen one of your connections. Hope that help. :)

Ok Since we don't know what kind of bypass is installed. You can try reprogramming it using 2 non cloned programmed keys. Put the first key in turn it to the run position wait for the theft light to go out. Then within 5 seconds put the next key in and turn it to run and once the theft light goes out again within 5 seconds turn that key off and try to remote start the truck.     If that doesn't work you may have to start checking wiring they may have broke something while they were in there Do you know what kind of remote start system is in the truck ?If i Can't Install it    I Don't need it   Joe

I didn't install the autostart myself. It was already installed when I purchased the vehicle. So I'm guessing it was done at the factory.@Chev104275 - Now let me confirm what you are saying. When you say turn to run position, do you mean start the vehicle or just turn the key to the position right before you actually start it. And if you mean the latter, I tried that and it still doesn't start automatically. And the autostart installed is the Automate AM1R.Cameron

Yea sorry the position right before you go to start it. If it doesnt work then it could be a wiring problem. You'll have to drop the drivers lower dash and the column shroud to check for broken wiring/or maybe the ring that goes around the ing cylinder isn't on correctly anymore ( could have got moved while they were working on the truck )   While your in there you can see what bypass they used.If i Can't Install it    I Don't need it   Joe

I think I have to take my truck to the shop. I've downloaded the remote start manual and I've downloaded the wiring diagram for my truck and I still can't figure out the problem. Is it possible that I have a wire thats not connect to the starter? I mean everything else works. My alarm works my doors lock and unlock my hatch button works but I can't remote start. This is a pain in the ass!!!!!R.Cameron

What have you tried ? Do you have a multimeter to test circuits with? It sounds to me its just a bypass problemIf i Can't Install it    I Don't need it   Joe

I don't have a multimeter. Well not a digital one. If I get one will this help me solve the issue.R.Cameron
