need assistance compustar cm6200 f150

I have a 99 Ford F150 that is giving me hell. I am trying to wire in a Compustar CM6200 remote start, keyless entry system. Here is what is occurring. I wired the door locks in with 2 relays because they require a positive trigger to lock/unlock. When I use the switch on the door, the door locks lock and unlock, however when I press the button on the remote its almost like there is not enough energy being given to the actuator. It sort of half moves, (I hear it engaging),.. the lock only moves half way and does not lock or unlock the vehicle. What could be causing this? Secondly, the remote start is inoperable. It clicks 3 times, then clicks once and nothing happens. No ignition, nothing... In addition I have a Fortin Key overide all... yellow wire to ignition, Rx to Grey/orange pats, TX to WHITE/ Lt Green, and blue to the Cm6200... there is a button you can press to program it, the thing doesn't even light up???????

Think the 1999 F150 locks are either Type B(-) or 5 Wire REV not Type A(+).  If your truck does not

have Factory Keyless Entry then it should be 5 Wire REV.   Here is a link to the wiring diagram : https://www.the12volt.com/doorlocks/page3.asp#5w

On the bypass module, how is Connector 1 wired up?  That supplies the power to the module.  The module must

be programmed to the truck for a successful remote start up.

Soldering is fun!

door locks should be neg or rev polarity. you have 3 flash errors during remote start because you must have it in manual mode. on the cm6200, there is a small door/cover. open it up and if its automatic snip the wire. for the bypass, hold the programming button, plug in the 4pin power connector, and when the red LED stays solid release the button. connect the other white connector turn on ign and it will flash which indicates programmed.

I made a few calls to some local shops that seem to think I have type c 5 wire door locks. Right now ground the wires does nothing. I have 2 relays hooked up to the door lock/unlock wires that are feeding 12v+ to the door locks when I press the button. It is actuating the door locks, however they only move a little bit. I recently noticed when I press the door lock button more than a couple times the wires get hot! I am confused as to what type of system I have and how to wire it.1971 Chevelle SS

Got the remote start to turn over. It was a tach sensing issue. Spent 4 hours on the phone with fortin. Their Key-Overide-All is not working with my vehicle. They gave me 4 hours of their time and then washed their hands and told me to purchase another module. DG1971 Chevelle SS

UPDATE: Door Locks are now functioning correctly. It was in fact a 5-wire setup. Using the diagram on this site I was able to correctly wire the door locks. They function beautifully now. Now for the only other issue. The key over ride. I would prefer not leaving a key in a box in the car but if I have to I will. What are my other options. I have the fortin Key-override-all wired in correctly per fortin tech support and it is still not working. Are there any other units that work better that I can try? or an I stuck with buying a second key, having it programmed, and then putting it in the box? DG1971 Chevelle SS

My favorite is the DEI 1100F, available "online" N.I.B. for $15.  The install guide is in the downloads section.  It's a Data type bypass so no key in the  box.  The module is now discontinued and actually an iDatalink piece.  Works flawlessly and is easy to program.Soldering is fun!

for the key override, ground the blue GWR wire and what does the led show? solid is programmed, if flashing its not programmed properly. that blue wire from the bypass will be connected to black of the compustar ouput.Ted

Here is where we stand with the Fortin: THE WHITE HARNESS: The RX (receiving) wire on the Fortin (color:PURPLE / White) is connected to Grey/Orange on the Barrel Wiring Harness) The TX (transmitting) wire on the Fortin (color: Yellow/Black) is connected to the WHITE/ Light Green on the Barrel Wiring harness Yellow Wire connected to RED / Green Ignition wire (wire was tested for current when ignition turns on) Blue wire on Fortin was connected to black wire on Compustar BLACK HARNESS: Per Fortin Tech Support was cut in half. Red wire on Fortin connected to constant 12+ power Black wire on Fortin to Ground. To program --- per Fortin Tech support: Hold the button, insert the white harness, followed by the black harness... when LED is lit remove finger from button. First key goes in ignition, ignition on, wait for theft light to go off, remove key, repeat. Remote start vehicle.... Vehicle cranks continuously, theft light flashes, does not start. Insert key into the ignition, remote start vehicle: vehicle starts immediately... signifies to me that the Fortin is not working. DG1971 Chevelle SS

I only have 1 key, will this work with only 1 key? Has anyone had success using this specifically with an F150? DG1971 Chevelle SS
