Thanks for the reply.
Checked the following. Male pins on the CM900AS are all straight and nothing bent or broken. The female pins on the Blade AL, while they are recessed, I can see the reflective metal on all pins from the opening.
Checked CM900AS ground by connecting black lead of my meter to the vehicle body and inserted red lead into the ground female pin of the CM900AS connector while it was unplugged and checked for continuity.. everything checked out.
Data connection wire... I was not in the garage when I was posting this so I mixed it up. I actually have it hooked to the light green/black per the idatalink manual and the picture above. Second pin is data and the red/black for security LED. Green/white is listed as data on an online diagram I found for a 2007 Honda Fit. There were some discrepancies between the online diagram and the idatalink manual. I have been following the idatalink manual and all wires have so far checked out. One interesting thing to note is ignition harness has the 7 pin connector I currently have all three bypass wires hooked to as well as a 6 pin connector. The 6 pin connector does have a green/white. I have not hooked anything to it for fear of damaging something but not sure if it is a coincidence or if the idatalink manual is wrong and the online diagram has this one right. Any thoughts?
Verified the thick green wire from the CM900AS is tapped into the black/yellow ignition wire. I also unplugged the CM900AS connector and verified I get 12 volts at the connector when the ignition is switched to on and 0 volts when the ignition is switched to off.
Plugged in a working key and left in the off position and initiated a remote start. The car remote started. During the remote start the Blade remained with the solid red LED.
I am able to factory reset. I insert the blade while holding the button below the blade module led. After plugging in and continuing to hold the button the LED remains off for ~2 seconds and then begins to flash. I release the button and the LED remains solid for ~2 seconds, turns off quickly, and then returns to solid red again. I then try turning the key to on position (not starting the vehicle) and wait per the instructions and nothing happens.
Last thing I will mention is all my connections are soldered so I do not think it is a loose wire issue. I looked on idatalink for legacy firmware to try an older version of HA1 but the version I have loaded is all that is available on the website.
Would you condemn the Blade module as being bad? Any other checks I can try?
Thank you again for the help.
