Installed a Compustar 5200 with a Blade-AL in a 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 a few months ago. Then a couple weeks ago, he tells me that the blower isn't going on during remote start anymore.

I checked it out, and found that the white ACC wire from the 8-pin main connector on the compustar brain wasn't outputting 12V during any period of the remote start sequence. I tested it right at the harness connected to the brain. This wire is connected to the ACC wire. It worked for a month or so, and then suddenly stopped working. I had to rewire it with a relay to the 2nd ACC wire.

Does this sound like the compustar 5200 just went bad? It still starts fine, locks and unlocks fine, etc.

replace the brain for him then.

never had an issue but possible that it was a bad brain.
