I installed a 791XV on a 2006 F250 Diesel. Had to use 454 DEI Pulse Generator for the tach signal. The remote start will not activate in the morning. I am in Florida. Doesn't matter if it is warm or cold. After it has been started with the key, Remote Start works fine the rest of the day. It doesn't even attempt to crank. It activates normally, and the 15 second programmed delay sets for the wait to start, and then it just does nothing. Any ideas?

for those that are unsure, this vehicle has a digital tach signal, that's why i had to use the generator

Try setting the unit to voltage sensing instead of using the pulse generator and see if it works in the morning. Set the voltage sensing sensitivity to low.

tried that. tried all settings. remote start doesn't hold. typically with diesels voltage sensing isn't sufficient. thanks for trying.

Use alternating sense instead. I use this for all Ford diesel trucks and vehicles that do not have a tach signal that doesn't go above 6 volts.

just to make sure that we are on the same page, it doesn't even attempt to start, unless the vehicle has been started at some point in the day first. Jeff, will that still solve my problem? Do i still need to keep the generator? Shaugn, the issue isn't the cranking, or the crank time. Actually, on this vehicle it takes very little effort to crank the engine. The issue is that it does not attempt the crank. If at 9am the customer tries for the first time to remote start the truck, and it sat all night, it wil not remote start. If he physically starts the truck with key, then anytime after that, whether it be 9:15am or 5pm, the remote start works fine.

try it, if it doesn't crank at that point, there is other issues.

i, too, like him got into website creation. i run a linux server for my php and c++ scripts, and host finished websites with a 3rd party. and in the next 2 weeks, i will be contacting 12volt shops for their chance to get a free website up and running, non-database or e-commerce, those take too much time. want to put retailers thru a mutual location for online marketing. Try and help whats left of this industry.

this is where he called me chicken little. well, i am not saying a thing, but the numbers, or lack of, speak for themselves. it is easy for those with money, like the creator of this site, to say, relax, it'll be ok. for the rest that depend on day to day sales it's a bit more stressfull. just try to hang in there. if you dont already, add auto glass replacement to your shop, its easy to start and is decent money.
