Hello,

I installed a Prostart CT-3200 on my 1985 Toyota Pickup. Programmed the remote and tach. But when I press the start button, it cranks for about 8 secs then stops then the park lights flash two times. I can't seem to find any thing about diagnostic flashes on these units. Please help and thanks in advance.

It sounds like the tach signal isn't correct. The unit is designed to engage the starter for 8 sec until it receives the correct signal. Use a volt meter set on an A/C scale to test from a good ground to the purple tach wire. You should get a reading between 1 and 9 volts that varies with RPM. Make sure the ground for the remote starter is into the vehicle chassis and not just a piece of metal. Recheck the the main ignition wiring connections. You may have reversed the ignition and starter wires by accident.

Hi All,

Problem Solved, turned out to be the Second Ignition Wire, I connected it to the BLACK/ Red Wire at the ignition harness, should have been BROWN / White. Thanks for your help.
