What is the make of the remote starter? Did you hook up the Accessory wire from the remote start to the Accessory line of the vehicle?

Top Secret, I can tell you but then my wife will kill me.

Also, post all your connection of your remote starter unit to the wiring of the vehicle. We may be able to spot the error somewhere on your install.

Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply it. 2001 dodge caravan remote -- posted image.

Green wire on the main harness of your remote starter has to be set to Second Starter using the jumper on the back.

"pin86 12 volts from the remote start uunit when running"

Connect the Green wire (this will become your second starter wire once you have selected the correct jumper pin on the back of the remote starter unit.) to pin 86.

"87 with 180 ohm resistor to the second start wire"

This is correct.

"85 and 30 to ground."

This is also correct.

"if i remove the goround at 85 the vech just cranks and wont start."

It won't because it requires a second starter ground through 180 ohm in order for the vehicle to start.

Try that it should work better now.

if your heater is not coming on, it sounds like an ignition problem. with that vehicle you don't need to hook up the accy wire for remote start. the heater works off of your ignition. double check to make sure those connections are right and make sure you power the 1st and 2nd ignitions in the right order.

use relays unless the alarm has built in relays.

That's good the hear.

As OhioMike1101 suggested, yes you will require to use relays for the Prostart unit.

If you feel for the clicking of the factory relays you can tap directly on to it. I would not recommended unless you have seen it being done, so use the relays.
