2003 Dodge Ram, Compustar CM3000

Hi,

I am installing a compustar CM3000 2 way remote start/alarm into a 2003 Dodge Ram but have run into some issues. I pulled the alarm from my 2001 grand cherokee, and am using the same DEI immobilizer bypass unit I had in the jeep. My main question is when I activate the remote starter, no power is transmitted through the yellow starter wire from the alarm brain? I can hear the relay's clicking, and the remote shows it's attempting to start, but no power is sent to the starter. It does not give any flashing light error codes, etc.. My suspicions are that I do not have all the ignition wires powered. What ignition wires should be tapped into from the factory harness? I have read 3 different documents, all showing different wires needed. The truck has the hemi gas engine. There is no change in voltage sent out by the tach wire when the remote start is activated, which is another reason I believe power is not going to the proper ignition wire. Would this cause the remote starter to not send power through the starter wire? Also, should there be a relay attached after the alarm brain starter wire? Thanks in advance for the help!

Yah the chrysler transponders are a one time learn.  gonna have to get a new key and code it.  What is the serial number on the module.  Compustar had a problem with there starter relay in the module.  sounds like that is what it is.  I have taken these apart and cleaned off the contacts and has cured the problem for me.  hope this helps good luck.

Thanks for the help so far, the starter relay inside the brain is a sealed unit, would this be the one that could be faulty? I am still unclear as to wether there should be an external relay connected to the yellow starter wire from the brain? As it is now, when the remote starter is activated, no power is transmitted through the yellow starter wire from the brain still. As far as the transponder, the one I pulled from my jeep is, according to DEI's description, a universal unit (555U), is this still a one time learn? I'm assuming that the brain should still be sending power through the starter wire, wether the immobilizer bypass unit is working or not? It seems to me that it could be a faulty brain, however it functioned fine when I removed it from my jeep. When I attempt to remote start, no fault codes are given, and it appears to be attempting to start (sends power through ignition wire, etc..). It will also abandon it's starting attempt after a few tries, as it should. The tach was programmed to the brain. Any safety wires (hood pin, etc..) that are grounded will stop it from attempting to remote start. Basically it's doing everything it should, except sending power to the starter.

Thanks again for the help, and further advice is greatly appreciated!

sorry i didnt checn my emails until now..anyway the 555u can be reused but you will either have to use one of your keys and put it into the 555u or get a new key and code it...Let me know if you dont know how to learn a new chrysler key.

Yah the starter relay is sealed but you can open it up. but an easier solution is to use the negative starter output on the auxilary harness and hook it up to a relay that will work just fine.  the RED / black is the negative start output;

I seem to have it working now. Still no output from the starter wire on the brain though, but bypassed it with a relay. Thanks for the help. Now that it's working, the ABS, and "brake" warning lights on the dash stay on. They are on regardless of wether it's started by remote, or with the key. Any advice on why they are on, or how to turn them off? Thanks.
