Hello, i have installed a Pyton 1401 in my 2007 Lincoln Mark lt, I am not using the system for locking and unlocking doors or any accesories, just remote starting. Problem is when i push the start button on the remote it powers up, parking lights flash, dash lights come on but will not crank. I have check that the Neutral safety swich is grounded and the hood pin is not grounded. Everything else checks out OK other than i am not getting power for the RS module to the Violet wire which is the starter wire from the module. I am using a XpressKit PKFM but even if that is faulty it should not prevent it from cranking...would it. Any help would be much apprieciated as the interior of my truck is in pieces right now. THANKS!

if the bypass is faulty, it wont crank, fords dont crank when the anti theft isnt bypassed, check to see if the theft light is blinking

it is blinking the same pattern as the security light, but not at the exact same time.

light on dash blinks rapidly, while the bypass module stays lit solidly.

bypass isnt hooked up right or its not programmed

I also tried remote starting it with the key in the ignition, and it did not crank. What should the led be doing if the bypass module is connected and programmed promperly ?

Battery LIGHT GREEN/ VIOLET (+) IGNITION SWITCH HARNESS
Ignition 1 DK BLUE/LT GREEN (+) IGNITION SWITCH HARNESS
Accessory 1 BLACK/ LIGHT GREEN (+) IGNITION SWITCH HARNESS
Starter 1 RED / LIGHT BLUE (+) IGNITION SWITCH HARNESS
i mean its a pretty easy truck, im pretty sure most of us could do it under an hour......
you have all the connections correct?
are they good connections?
is the remote start programmed right?

I don't have anything to contribute to this post that would assist the orignial poster, but mr metz, i just wanted to let you know that fords do crank even though the antitheft isn't bypassed, unless of course the antitheft specs on fords in the U.S are different, .

No they don't crank. They sit there with ignition on and time out until retry

I am pretty sure they do! I've tried to hotwire a couple with anti-thefts, when i do, the starter cranks, but the engine never engages, the antitheft light continues to blink, i'm not arguing here, like i said i dunno if the specs on your us fords are different!

t&t tech,
In my experience it depends on the model. '97-'03 F-series pickups I believe would crank with no start, as would most of the other early immobilizer vehicles. Later ones won't crank at all.

As i said guys i'm not arguing here,but, i have a 2007 ford ranger at company's disposal, which i personally installed the auto security into, and when i attempted to hotwire, the van cranked, but the antitheft light kept blinking during my attempts, which is why i wanted to inform mr metz, just as you chris, this is my personal experience!

What do shutdown diagnostics say?

Thanks for all the suggestions. I had the unit in and wired in less than a hour, however my problem was a bad bypass module. You take it for granted that when you buy something new it will work. This was my first vehicle R/S utilizing a programmable bypass module and having a bad one just baffled me. I replaced the module and was good to go.
