Installed remote starter but having trouble with the parking lights. They no longer come on, and the light chime constantly dings when started. Checked all fuses and they are fine. Can get lights to work when directly touch two wires together. Any advice on what else can be checked?

Chime dings only when door is open (even if lights are off), also the Day-time running lights to do work.

More information is needed.....what did you install, where did you tag the parking light wire? Did you use a NEG(-) parking light flash from the unit you installed, or a POS(+) ?

--There are usually several fuseboxes on modern cars. Have you checked both underhood, and in the passenger compartment? I believe on a Century, they're on the right-hand side of the dash, as well as underhood.
--Is the parking brake set, or did you accidentally short the the parking brake wire to ground while installing? If the brake is on, the daytime running lights won't work.
--What two wires are you touching together that get the lights to work?
--Do the parking lights come on with remote start?
--Where did you connect the remote starter's parking light output? Is the remote starter configured for negative or positive parking light output?
