2005 Jeep Wrangler X, Avital Remote Start Issue

Hello all two questions I have a one button avital remote start installed and one out of every 10 tries it will actually start the rest of the time it flashes the parking lights 5 times indicating brake shutdown I’ve double checked the brake wire and it’s showing 0 when pedal up 12 when the pedals depressed. I’ve even disconnected the brake wire all together from the avital with no luck. What could possibly cause this? Next I have a int-sl+ I went through wired it did the learn procedure it went off with out a problem but it’s not letting the truck start with out the key in the ignition. Can any one shed light on this?Signature

I do have the gray key on my jeep forgot to mention that.Signature

A couple of thoughts... Double check your Avital Chassis Ground wire connection. It should be a soldered-on terminal ring to a clean paint and rust free solid frame metal. Depending on the Avital model 5 Blinks could mean Hood Pin. The hood pin should only see ground when the hood is open. The INT-SL+ only does the bypass function for your jeep. Additionally, it cant go D2D so it must be connected W2W. The only wires that need to be connected are Red and Black on the 4 Pin connector and the Pink, Blue and Purple on the 14 Pin plug. I'm thinking that the Blue wire is not connected to the Blue (-) Status Output on the Avital.Soldering is fun!

I do not have the hood pin wire connected at all and that clears up the issue with the bypass I’m trying to use it in d2d with the yellow / yellow black and pink wires the 4 pin with the power and ground connected to the avital. So I should cut the plug and wire power and ground direct avoiding the avital ?Signature

Yes, follow the "Plan 2 Without Datalink" wiring diagram for that 4 Pin plug and make those 3 hardwired connections on the 14 Pin plug. I usually run the Red and Black to the R/S unit and tag off of it's wires. Strange with the shutdown / 5 Blink issue. I've heard of bad Brake light bulbs causing issues but not when the Brake wire is disconnected. Check that R/S connector and its' pins.Soldering is fun!

I will try that. I used plan 6 with out datalink as that’s what fortin said I should but I will try plan 2. I’m absolutely using the right wire brown from the 5pin is the brake shutdown. Before I got into the wiring some one has already been in there looks like a r/s was removed there is a purple wire maybe 18awg that was stripped back that I can’t see a reason to be stripped it def had a wire tapped into it I can see the evidence but I can’t see what would have went to it I pulled the whole hint back out and I’m going back through the wiring once again to see if I can find anything I missed but like I said when it does let the truck start it starts fine. Then the next ten tries it does 5 flashes abs when I use diagnostic mode that shows 4 blinks with it transmitter shutdown I’m baffled this is the second unit I’ve tried thinking the first was faulty but it does the exact same thingSignature

Which model Avital? 4105? Very strange that it happens with the Avital Brown wire disconnected. Even stranger that this is the second Avital unit with the same issue. Are you using the White/Tan Brake wire at the brake pedal switch?Soldering is fun!

The purple wire I mentioned above does not come from the skim I thought about using a new bypass that has the green plug for data but my jeep do not have the purple wire at the skim so I ruled that out. I’m going out to completely remove the bypass then attempt again to remote start the truck see if the issue goes away just the r/s with the key in the ign should let me confirm or continue diagnosing the r/sSignature

It is the 4105 single button and yes I am using the white/tan at the brake switch. It’s blowing my mind I’ve done plenty of installs now with out issue. I even checked for trailer wiring maybe feeding something back but there is none. I also tried pulling the fuse on the parking light wire thinking maybe confirmation flash is tripping the brake wire signal but that didn’t matter either.Signature

So I’ve torn everything out rewired it. Same thing starts once then 5 flashes the next 10/20 tries. But before that the purple wire is actually purple/tan key sense wire Should that be connected to a wire from the int-sl+ ? I’ve double checked ground when a weak or no ground is present the unit clicks then the led on both avital and bypass go out then light back up then it’s 5 flashes on the next attempt Here’s what I have wired Heavy Both red from avital to red 12awg from jeep Pink/white not used Orange to pink/yellow 14awg (has 3 total I used the middle size wire) 16/12awg unused but I’ve tried them for fun no change Purple to pink/orange Pink to pink / lt green 5pin Black/white to chassis ground Brown to white/tan at brake switch Violet / white not used Gray not used Blue/white not used 9 pin Black to chassis ground White to parking light white yellow in same harness as ignition which is how I know it’s brake shutdown they flash 5 times so that’s fine Nothing else is used 4 pin satellite Blue to blue on bypass 14pin Then cut the 4 pin from bypass only using black/red plugged into the avital leaving blue and white taped off. I’m not even worried about the bypass at this moment no sense in worrying about that if I can’t get the remote start to work alone with the key in the ignition When I first plugged the new unit in it worked fine remote started first try then I didn’t have the key in or bypass hooked up so it would attempt 3 times then shut off. That worked 2 times in a row then that was it right to flashing 5 times. Could I have damaged the avital some how? I was using the second pink/white ign/acc wire from the avital to the 12awg acc pink / yellow on the jeep just to rule out if I did need to have that wired in to resolve the issue. But again when it worked it worked fine but then wouldn’t work the next time. Why is it so random when it wants to work? This is killing me. If checked the brake shutdown wire for voltage when pressing the remote start to activate and it’s showing nothing until the pedal is depressed then I get 12.34vSignature
