hello everyone, i am currently installing a remote starter/ alarm into my 2000 nissan maxima, so far everything is connected. everything works except the remote start function, i think my problem may be that im not connecting the bypass module correctly. ive never installed one like this and dont know how to apply that ring from the 556u, what happens is i press the start button on the remote, the car seems to go to ACC/ON and then it clicks off in about 1 -2 seconds no cranking begins. please let me know what possible solutions i can try or anything. i appreciate any help. Thank you, DAve

To verify that the problem is with your transponder bypass, simply leave a working key in the vehicle's ignition in the off position and try to remote start the vehicle. If the vehicle starts and runs then you know the bypass is where your problem lies. If the car does not start up and run then you will need to recheck your wiring at the ignition.
Hope this helps.

Dave, have you also checked to see if the STARTER output is infact sending a 12 volt signal to the starter wire that you have ? Make sure that you didn't wire the starter disable relay backwards.

--Even if the transponder bypass is wrong, Nissans will still crank; they just won't start.
--If you have any doubts at all about the bypass, simply unplug it, stick a key in the ignition, and try to remote-start the car.
--Have you powered up both starter wires in the Nissan?

You need too hook up both starters. Also make sure your starter wires arn't backwards if you did a starter kill/antigrind.

Try this run your start directly from the remote start BLACK/ dark red I believe this is the primary start wire the BLACK/ blue is for cold start up, but for testing try the blk/ dark rd. Have you learned the tach before trying to remote start?

Also, Are you infact adding a starter kill/anti grind relay? O

Eliminate the starter disable (if you have it wired in) power up BOTH starter wires Start 1 is a BIG blk/red, start 2 is blk/blue. Ign. 1 is a smaller blk/red maybe you have those two mixed up?

How about trying this:
--temporarily unplug bypass box.
--Insert key in ignition.
--Activate remote start.
--At the moment the remote start is supposed to be cranking the starter, quickly turn they key forward to the start position........ as soon as the engine fires up, turn the key all the way back to off.
--Did the car start correctly then? Did it stay running even after you moved the key to off? Did the climate controls stay running too?
If all of the above is "yes", then the major part of the install is good, but you've failed to power up both starter wires correctly.

Sorry to hear that you're stuck, but have you actually tried the suggestion I mentioned above.
Much better and easier to troubleshoot first, then fix.

Just double-checking if you're able to start the car by just hotwiring it with the key in the ignition to make sure its starting? ... if not ... 1. Use a test wire with an in-line fuse going to a constant 12-volt source. (Preferably the same source that you'll be using for the install.) 2. Supply 12volts to both IGN wires. (Again, preferably from the same source you'll be using for the install.) 3. Put the key in the OFF position. 4. At this point in your troubleshooting, may as well touch both starter wires with your test wire and your car should start. If it doesn't ... don't know what to tell ya buddy. 5. Remove the key. 6. Reconnect both starter wires to the RS and try to Start it with the remote. If it doesn't start ... you may need to trouble shoot the bypass module, but first ... 7. Re-insert the key in the OFF position and try to start it with the remote. If it doesn't start ... test the starter wire from the RS module with a DMM and also check your +12v and ground connections for the module. If your +12v and ground is good, something may be wrong with the RS module ... or maybe the remote (i'm not familiar with that model). If it does start ... troubleshoot the Bypass module ... might be faulty. Hopefully it works before this step. Don't forget the relays for final install.

im not exactly sure if i did this correctly but, it did not stay running, and i get no cranking at all when i try to initialize the remote starter just some lights ac controls, and it turns off in 1 - 2 seconds

it seems to be that the starter output wire isnt sending out a 12 V signal, any ideas why?
