There is a wire coming from the 555H that you hook up to your remote starter that goes to ground during a remote start. If you remove this wire from your remote starter and hook it up directly to ground, and WITHOUT a key in the ignition switch, try a remote start. If you have the 555H hooked up and programmed correctly, the car will start. If you don't, the car will just crank and crank. If it does this hit the brake pedal to shut down the remote starter.
If the car starts, your remote starter is not providing the ground signal or not providing it soon enough. I found that my Accord was VERY fussy and had to see that transponder wire grounded BEFORE the ignition wire saw 12v power or else it wouldn't authorize a start. Check the ground out wire of the remote starter with a multimeter.

Bypass: 556H

Well I did the above. If I ground the wire that is suppposed to connect to the primary module she starts. I moved my ground and redid my connector for the ground to no avail. I am supposed to be connecting the bypass blue/white to the WHITE/ blue (primary harness). If I have the key nearby, she starts. I tried using the other key to program with, also to no avail. I'm just confused on how the ground could be killing it. I did meter the ground and I get 0.
Any suggestions? Obviously leaving the relay blue/white grounded isn't probably the best idea - but really what does that effect?
Thanks for any suggestions or commnents.

You don't want to use the WHITE/ blue in the primary harness. Use the blue (-) status output in the 4 pin harness that plugs into the relay pack. The H3/1 Blue/white wire may work also, but I'm not sure if it comes on quick enough. The WHITE/ blue wire you are using is a wire that activates the remote starter if it is grounded. Not used in this setup.
That's cool. I found out that if I didn't even use the wire from the bypass (blue/white) it starts just fine. So should I still connect the blue/white from the bypass to the sat relay 4-pin blue? That's great info! Thank you Jworm.

Thanks! That solved my problem. Everything went together well. I had a loose connection near my ignition and even with the black key it would not turn over. It would tell me that there was a key error. I started to freak a bit - but just went back through my connections and there it was, loose. Soldered that baby and I'm good to do. I'll button her up tomorrow.
Great place for peeps to ask questions and get good answers w/o gettin flamed!
