How long does take to program Bypass Module IDatalink ADS-TB? I'm following procedure and it stop on step 8(see picture) with red LED on for 20 min. now.

On beginning of step 8 security control light was blinking fast for few minutes, next it was blinking slow for few minutes, now I can hear low buzzing from under hood.

Any suggestions???
Thank you!
Andrew

Should be pretty quick.

A few questions. Did the cars immobilizer wire colors and connector type match up with the install guide?

Did you solder the wires?

Did you set the module mode to standard ( two blinks ) prior to programming it to the car ( top of page 11 )?

Are you using two unique, working, non-clone keys to program it ( step 6 completes OK )?

Try jumping the ignition wire at step 7 instead of a remote start.

Soldering is fun!

Thank you Kreg!
I'm connecting it to Remote Starter with Data cable so I set it to Data mode - 1 blink. All steps completed OK. In step 7 I jumped 12 to ignition wire - nothing happened when I pressed start button on remote. Keys are original. Wire colors matched install guide.
I'm not soldering connections - using crimping tool and connectors.

I just did it again and I think it went OK. Now when I try to program it again it stop on step 3 with green LED on for two seconds.

Thank you for your help!

I have found the programming on Fords to go easier if you just don't watch the light :) It just doesn't do what they say in the instructions. Treat it like you would programming another key.

Turn on key 1 for 5 seconds, remove.

Turn on key 2 for 5 seconds, remove.

RS the car, looking at the factory security light. If it starts blinking it didn't work. If it comes on solid, so are you.
