my remote start has not been working on my 2000 mercury sab;e it has a ford transponder rev b copywrite 1998 is all it says no model numbers or anything and a autocomman 26327.. it turns on ans sometimes it will crank and as soon is its about to fire will cut off and it does not intiate to retry to start.. sometimes it wont even try to start to remote start modul will turn on and then off. im pretty sure it has to do with the transponder but im not sure it used to work great till i changed the battery?? please help me!!!

There will be a security light somewhere on your vehicle. It will either be in the dash cluster ( should look like a padlock) or up on top of the dash. When you try to remote start, what does this light do. If it starts flashing fast, then is a bypass issue.

Not sure on flasing but I'm 99 percent sure it has to do with bypass. I get 6 flashes from the autocommand modual signifing a security bypass problem or tach problem low voltage caused by tach or security it's all hooked up I'm sure it's just not programmed right. It's a ford transponder that a extra key sits inside the box in ribbon please help me programme someone

on the old designtech starters you may need to cut the green wire loop on the unit. This usualy eliminates ereatic starts. The remote starter thinks it is going into gear, and cutting the green wire should solve this. Also try and disconect the power wire or remove the fuse and reconect it. This will reset the starter.

cutting the green wire did not solve the problem nore effected the modual nor does reseeting the modual.. like i said it has six flashes when i do the diagnostic test and from design tech this means it is to low of voltage to start indicating the security bypass is not working or programmed i dissconnect the wires on the transponder and it does not effect the modual so i know it has to do with the right programming sequence.. does anyone know this.. the programming sequence for programming a ford key transponder to a design tech 26327..

if its a key in a box style bypass the key inside may have lost its programming try this you will need 2 programmed keys for the car (clones wont work) put the first key in the ing turn it to the on position wait for the pats light to stop flashing once the light goes out with in 5 seconds put the second key in and turn the key to the on position once the light goes out with in 5 seconds hit the remote start button if everything is wired correctly the key in the box should program and the car should start if not you may need to check the bypass and or wiring

key in box did not loose programming it still starts car and i did ur procedure anyways chev104275.. the theft light is blinking fast when it turnes on with remote start and it is not even giving it enough time to crank over anymore where before it did crank over.. i unpluged modual pluged back in to reset and still does the same.. just turns on with the theft light blinking fast so it is a bypass issue i need to know the right sequence to program the key in box transponder to a design tech module.. thanks guys..

have you checked to see if the bypass is getting power and ground also check the ring around the ingition cyl

key in box requires no programming. Its simply a "key in box" literally. place the orignal key into the ignition cylinder and leave it in the off position. remote start it a few times. if it starts up no problem, the KIB bypass ring needs to be adjusted. ------------- Ted

I would start by doing as tedmond suggested. Check the bypass loop around the ignition barrel. If it's loose it could cause the intermittant issues. Ironically, I had this same exact problem with the Design Tech unit I installed in my Jeep before installing my new Viper 5101. I always chalked it up to not having the tach wire connected. Sometimes it would crank the engine over and it would fire once or twice as if it were right on the verge of starting, then the remote car starter would stop. Often it wouldn't attempt to restart the vehicle after that. I think what may have been happening is the Jeep would crank and as soon as the remote car starter saw a voltage increase it would back off. It was thinking the engine was running because the alternator started putting out. I never did wire up the tach wire to see if that's what it was. Since the range was awful anyway, I upgraded to a better unit. I also wired up the tach wire on my Viper. So far I haven't had one missed start.  BTW, Prior to my Jeep I owned a 2001 Ford Taurus with a Design Tech 23927 remote car starter w/ the "key in a box" style bypass. It worked awesome and I never had any problems with it. I'm not sure if this will help or not, but here is the link to the remote car starter I had installed in that vehicle. Troubleshooting my be the same. https://www.designtech-intl.com/pdf/manuals/23927.pdf

If the car will not remote start with the key in the ignition it can't be a immobilizer bypass issue, it must be a tach problem.

1) run a tach wire 2) put the unit into voltage sense for diagnostics. If it starts, run a tach wire. ------------- Ted

how do i put the unit into voltage sense for dignostics??do need a tach wire hooked up for this

I think if you hook up the tach wire your problems will be solved.

you do not need to run a tach if you leave it in voltage sense. just go into programming and change it. ------------- Ted

Do the Design Tech units have voltage sensing?
