Went to install it this weekend, everything went smooth until the end

Cleaned up all the wiring, closed everything up and went for the final test...bam car turn on everything looks good...then horn starts as if its stuck...i think ooo oh not good. Unplug battery, plug back in.

alarm acting funny...now it arms, disarms...but horn doesnt sound only siren(although car horn is ok)....then remote start wont start...it cranks but wont start (it starts ok w key)...I noticed now after the incident when it trys to start no lights light up on the dash...before the incident the light were lighting up before it cranked....this car doesnt have oem security nor transponder...

The tach looks ok, I relearned it so dont think its the tach...
The last few wires I had messed with was connecting the dome supervision to the green wire of the key ring light.....could this have done something?
I didnt use taps for the main wires....I used a t-harness
Anyone think a blown fuse?

Ive done one or two remote starts in the past so now an expert but not a total newbie either

any help greatly appreciated

I'm with Mike on this, my first thought on reading the post was ignition followed by transponder by pass. Even if the tach was "unlearned" there I've invented another new word, the dash lights would come on and the vehicle would start but only run for 15 secs.

well I switched the two ignition wires on the t-harness, now the vehicle starts but the ABS and Brake light stay on and the odometer is off till I put the key in. Ive tested all the wires involved, they all have contiunity from the end of the t harness to where they meet by the alarm module....could the alarm be defective?

any help greatly appreciated

ABS and Brake lights on?

Does the climate control system come on during remote start?

I'll guess that Ignition 2 isn't being powered up during remote start.

thanks Chris, the climate control (blower) does not turn on in remote start mode. I will double check the 2nd ign wire
