there is no passlock in97 check the starter relay in the ribbon cable harness its the one with the purple wire in it just pull the relay out and put in a new one if you dont have a relay switch with the accessory relay on the orange wire it wont hurt anything but if it works get a new relay asap

yeah there are 4 relays there. So just take out the relay with the purple wire in it and put a new one in, are all relays the same I have a 30amp bosch relay will that be the same.

the purple wire has +12 volts in it all the time, I don't think this is normal and my LED when I start my truck with my key it flashes 3 time it use to flash 6 times before anyone have any idea whats up.

It may be wired up wrong and worked for a little while then burnt out the relays. You should only have 12v to the starter wire (purple) while cranking the engine, no other time. Test the other wires to see if they are getting 12v only when cranking and rewire accordingly

take a jumper and ground  the purple ribbon wire if it cranks the starter your relay and wires are good ,you will have 12 v at the ribbon but they go to lo current ground when starting

3 flashes denotes tach lockout...recheck your tach wire to see if it's still connected...if you soldered it under the hood you may have to redo it if it has corroded at the connection.....

Yeah I'll check that wire I also have another problem with it hapened at the same time. The lights don't flash when I arm/disarm do you think it might have anything to do with the starting process.

I can't figure it out guys when I start it with the remote it does NOT start however when The truck is running and I press the remote to start it stays running and I can take out the key and shut it off with the remote. I don't understand.
