Using the Trilogic GMDL=BP with a Micro MASSTART 2001 as I normally do on newer GM Trucks.
2004 Trailblazer LT

My wiring checks out fine.

Etc....

The GMDL-BP is progrmed proerly and I have gone over it with Trilogic twice, Tried 2 different GMDL-BP's and 2 different Remote starts.

What I'm not getting is the thing to start, or the Keyless entry to work consistently.

The Ignitions 1&2 get 12v, the start gets 12v but nothing happens.

Am I missing a wire from the ignition switch?

I've connected to all the 10/12 ga wires from the switch under the column. Colors matched function listed above and at 12volts.com database.

I NEED the Brown accessory wire?

I was going to try that... I will have the truck back soon.

I Just didn't try that wire.

I power it as an ACC wire Correct? or as a 3rd Ignition?


Thanks for that Tip!

  I just installed one in my 2003 Trailblazer, using the gmdl-bp,      From RS I hooked up  the six wires on column red /RED / wht   +  / YELLOW starter +/  whit+ acc1+/brown + acc2 to the RS relays

Use the blu& grn from Bp module  to connect to wires on RS for the door locks  shoud work fine then, you may also want to hook the panic wire from module into panic wire of RS  is up to you, I did this and it all works fine for me.

Second that....

Did get a 2005 Avalanche that I had to power up the second accessory though.... for some reason the traction control system didn't like not seeing it powered. Kinda wierd... first GM I've had to power that up in a long time.

I didn't hit the brown wire on the Trailblazer either.  Been 10 months or so and have not seen it back either.

Are you saying it won't CRANK or it CRANKS but does not Start??
I use the GMDL-BP also.  I ususally tie the Brown ( Status ) wire into the THIN PINK wire on the Relay Pack on the START 2001
Did you do TACH??
How about Hood PIN?
Hardly have a problem with the 2001 other then Transmitter lights
This is how I Wire the START 2001 on the Trailblazer:

Constant 12 voltsRED (2)IGNITION SWITCH HARNESS
Ignition 12 voltsPINKIGNITION SWITCH HARNESS
StarterYELLOWIGNITION SWITCH HARNESS
Ignition #2WHITEIGNITION SWITCH HARNESS
Ignition #3ORANGEIGNITION SWITCH HARNESS

The Trailblazer doesn't crank, It does get a crank signal from the Mas2001 and all the wires have continuity.

I haven't had this problem on FS Pick-ups.

did you cut the starter wire and do anti-grind?   is it possible you have the wires reversed?

no, Didn't set it up for anti-grind.

I'm just wondering if there is a 2nd Start wire?
Because it has the annoying BCM controlled start system.

?? it has the regular GM starter wire, but with factory anti-grind....   nothing special about it...

If ALL your Ignition wires are correct and If you checked the 2001 Starter Relay & the PURPLE wire up to the Yellow Factory Starter wire, and you probed the Yellow wire to confirm Start Voltage, then you either have the wrong Yellow wire or you have an issue with the ByPASS

I've had this problem before and talked with one of the tech guys at Trilogix and he's trying to tell me all these troubleshooting tips and Im like dude I've did EVERYTHING you've mentioned b/c I've did this for a long time now and am extremely technical and knowledgeable about 12volt electronics and especially car audio and starts,alarms, and keyless.  And then he finally admitted that it's rare but SOMETIMES the passlock 2 will not bypass through the data wire.  I knew it was possible but I just wanted to hear it from him.  Because I tried GMBP's and GMDL-BP's and nothing through DATA would bypass it.  We both came to the conclusion that it's just something weird about the car sometimes.  So if I were you double check everything and then resort to what I had to resort to and that was a bypass that interacts with the passlock wires themselves and you will have no problem.  You still use the GMDL-BP for locks and content security arm and disarm and rap shutdown and it works fine with a another bypass for the PASSLOCK II.  And I've never powered the Brown on a trailblazer either.  Well hope this helps sorry for the long reply!!!

AAARRGGHHH < I Have one of those Trailblazers you talked about ds1434!

I've only been doing this kind of work since 1988 so I was sure that I was doing something right.

I miss the good old days, a Resister and relay were bad enogh, Now its a bypass this and that.

this is why y'all should always keep a couple old 555L's in the shop as backups or spares... cause you never know when you'll get a gremlin vehicle and wish to hell you had one.... just covering passlock II i have in stock.... 555L, 556L, PLXR, PLJX, 457G, GMBP & XK01..... cause if one doesnt work i can quickly grab another and try that, not spend a day ripping my hair out ( i dont have any to spare).....  a 555L & 455G would have this vehicle done and gone from your shop in 30 minutes....

I may have to invest in some of those 555 modules.
