96 ES300 w/ 900Mhz FM Compustar

Hello all! I figured that you could help me out with a problem I am having with a 96 lexus es300. I have installed a CM3000 brain, everything works great, except remote start. I have programmed the brain to unlock, start, then lock to bypass the factory system. There is no transponder chip in the key, so no need for bypass. Here is the problem. When I try to rem start, the dash lights up, and the seat belt bell rings, then it clicks a few times, then shuts down. This happens a total of 3 times, then it quits, and locks the doors. It is a AT car, and I have a tach wire hooked up coming from the engine bay. It has learned the tach wire successfully. Any ideas?? Brad

Have you tested the ignition wire, starter wire, accessory wire and that you have connected them correctly to the vehicle's main harness? Have a look there. 96 Lexus ES300 |       ITEM      |     WIRE COLOR     |POL|       WIRE LOCATION        | |              12V|white and WHITE/ red |+ |ignition harness            | |          STARTER|BLACK/ white        |+ |ignition harness            | |        IGNITION|BLACK / YELLOW        |+ |ignition harness            | | SECOND IGNITION|BLACK/ orange        |+ |ignition harness            | |        ACCESSORY|pink/blue           |+ |ignition harness            | |       POWER LOCK|yellow/red          |- |pass kick or theft ecu *2   | |     POWER UNLOCK|yellow/blue        |- |pass kick or theft ecu *2   | | PARKING LIGHTS +|GREEN/ silver dots   |   |fusebox                     | | PARKING LIGHTS -|green               |   |steering column             | |       HEADLIGHTS|RED / yellow          |- |steering column             | |     DOOR TRIGGER|RED / white           |- |bottom of fusebox *3        | | TRUNK/HATCH PIN|RED / white           |- |theft ecu *2               | |        HOOD PIN|black               |- |theft ecu *2               | |TRNK/HTCH RELEASE|red                 |- |driver's kick panel        | | FCTRY ALARM ARM|arms with lock      |   |                            | |FCTRY ALRM DISARM|with unlock *4      |   |                            | |       TACHOMETER|black               |   |check connector *1          | |       BRAKE WIRE|GREEN / WHITE        |+ |drivers kick panel          | |     HORN TRIGGER|GREEN/ black        |- |theft ecu *2               | |           WIPERS|                    |   |                            | | LF WINDOW UP/DN|green - red        |A |at switch                   | | RF WINDOW UP/DN|GREEN / WHITE-RED / blue|A |at switch                   | | LR WINDOW UP/DN|GREEN/ YELLOW-RED / yel|A |at switch                   | | RR WINDOW UP/DN|GREEN/ black-RED / blk |A |at switch                   | Notes: *1 The check connector is found between the right shock tower and the firewall.

Your starter disable wire is not wired correctly. Probably backwards. YELLOW wire goes to the motor side and YELLOW/BLACK goes to the switch side. Make sure of this and post your results.Jeff
