I can't get the button to do anything. The antenna, LED and Button are all together.

I have a 2012 Wrangler with a DBALL and a Viper 5704 and just got done wiring it (it was on a shelf for way too long). I need to go into the menu to change from manual transmission to automatic so the remote start will function and I can't get into it. Open the door, ignition on, ignition off, hold down the button.... nothing.

I can't even get it to go into Valet Mode. Everything else works. Locks work, parking lights, arms/disarms factory alarm, doors will trigger the alarm. I grounded the green door input to make sure and tried to get into the menu and it still didn't work. I checked to see if the Ignition input (pink wire connected to the DBALL) gets 12V when the key is in the ignition and it does. I believe the grey wire for the RF port is grounded when the switch is pressed and it checks out at the alarm connector too.

I am at wits end. I am not new to this although it has been some time since I had installed one. I am hoping I just forgot something simple but I ran out of ideas. The only thing I can think of now is the alarm is bad.

Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

Figured it out. I had the H2 pink wire connected instead of the H3 pink wire. For some reason I thought that I didn't need the heavy gauge H3 harness at all but I guess they left it that way because maybe some vehicles with D2D still need a high current output. I think in my case it monitors the ignition key and only drives a low current to power the key module when remote starting.

I usually miss something. That's why I test it before I put it all back together :D
