I am having trouble configuring a Bulldog RS82 in a Ford Escape 02. I have two major problems!
Problem One:
I have wire and programmed the RS82 unit so that I could use the factory keyless entry remote to start the car starter. Problem is, I am able to start the car using the Bulldog remote but I have not been successful with the factory keyless entry remote.
With further Diagnostic:
- When I touch the AMA wire to a ground (3 times consecutively) it will activate the starter and start the car.
- If I probe the pink /black* wire I so no voltage and when pressing the lock button I see 12 voltage positive (before the relay) though I did notice that it is a fast trigger.
(…Could it be too fast for the relay to react?)
NOTE:
* The wiring diagram states that I should be using the pink/white wire, but after a quick test I discovered that the pink/black wire is the right one because the pink/white is providing a constant 12 volts.
Problem Two:
When I start the car using the RS 82 auto starter and the bulldog remote, the Ford remote does not work but when I to turn off the car using the Bulldog remote then the Ford remote will work again.
Wire details:
