alright your post doesnt gie enough info. the car cranks but doesnt stay running or the car does NOT crank at all? you migh want to download the install guide so that you can read the diagnostics on that.

did you remove any wires off the ignition harness? the prostart has 6 thick gauge wires for start, ignition, acc, acc 2, ign 2 etc. Now, make sure you didnt blow a fuse for the power input. The reason it has 2 power wires is because one is used for crank and the other power is used to run your acc and ign.

If the parking lights are staying on, it may be that the onboard relay for the positive parking lights is stuck in the closed position. This can happen with older units and I have seen it a number of times with Autostarts that are about 10 years old and have been used alot. Try tapping the module gently to see if the lights go out. If this is the case, you can open the unit and try cleaning the relay contacts. I would suggest that you should really replace the unit though. If this is the case then it is near the end of it's life expectancy.

I had this happen to me last week on a prostart 2 way just disconnect the ground wait a few minutes and reconnect it if it still happens then you have a defective unit
