2000 isuzu trooper, astrostart 120a

I am trying to help out a freind who purchased a used Astrostart 120A series remote start.  I do not have an install manual for the unit to help with the diagnostic led or the programming.  I must be missing something on the connections because it wont send the "crank' signal to the vehicle and the remote start flashes 5 times at me.  Being I don't have an install manual or any information on the diagnostics - I am in the dark as to what it is telling me.  Does anyone know where I can get the install information to tell what the # of flashes means?  I am tring to install it on a 200 Izuzu trooper.

Thanks

the remote is the 2106. 

Thanks

If the parklight flashes 5 times, that means the hood is open or the hood pin switch itself is still closed.

For install manual, go to download section on this site. For the user manual, get it from here

Hi thanks for the feedback on the 5 flashes.  I looked at the download section and did not see one for the 120 series.  The 2 that are there start at the 500 and 800 series and up.  The pictures of the remote starts in each is different than the one I have.  Is there one for the 120 and I missed it?

Thanks,

thanks recieved the manual - still having trouble with the unit not sending the "start" signal on the blue wire.  The unit sends the 'ignition" orange (dash indicators light up) but then stops and the unit flashes 5 times at me.  (all other functions seem to work - the lights, lock, unlock, etc) I have checked the wire for the hood and no matter what I do with it - the unit  will not start and flashes 5 times at me.  The way I understand the hood switch works is as long as the hood is closed the hood sense wire is floating (high)- when the hood is opened it gorunds that wire and sends that back to the unit.  I tied the wire to +12 just to bypass the hood switch to see if maybe I had a bad switch and it still does the same thing.  I have also just left the hood sswitch not connected to anything and it still says the hood is open.  Any one have any suggestions?

Thanks

Thanks.

Astros older hood pins are the GAYEST thing ever invented.... P.O.S.

There is however a fix.  Your old hood pin was the magnetic type. Replace it with a standard hood pin.

on the RED / blk hood pin wire that goes thru the firewall, connect a 10,000ohm resistor, and ground it.

Strip the RED / blk in an easily accesable spot, solder your resistor, and tap it to ground.

This is Astro's fix, not mine.....so don't blame me if it doesn't work.

I spoke to soon - having trouble finding the door lock/unlock wires in the drivers kick panel.  Help anyone?  Picture would be great or help in finding the correct connector.  The wire diagram that I downloaded from here doesn't give any more information than RED / Blue and Light GREEN/ red in the drivers kick panel.  I have looked and am unable to find either of these in the numerouse connectors there.

Thanks,

The Astrochart shows green for lock, and GREEN/ blue for unlock.    In the kick.... of course.

Get your DMM out and start pokin. They are negative trigger. Test with the key in the door. (just for the hell of it)
