This is my first post so bare with me. I did a 2 way compustar starter in a Corolla and a few weeks later the girl comes in and points out that when she puts the key in the ACC. position nothing works. The remote starter works fine and as soon as she goes to IGN. everything works perfect. I checked all the fuses in the box under the hood and in the dash, am I missing something simple(like another fuse box)??? I've been doing installs for years now and never came across this problem. Thank in advance to anyone who can help, Terry

Its a customers car so I'll need to double check on that. Shes coming back in on tues. I checked it before and the wire wasn't live until I went past ACC. to IGN. then the ACC. wire got 12 volts. Any clue(I might be wrong on that its been about a week since I tested the car).

Check power at the gray accessory wire when it is in the accessory position. If there is no power there and there is power at both the red and blue inputs to the switch there must be an issue with the switch itself. The switch is a real POS, i have had them come apart on me before when trying to unplug the ignition harness. Colors may differ as there are two versions of harnesses in the new Corollas.
