Is there a way to bench test a remote start unit? I was given a used Astrostart 2205, that I would like to test before I re-install.

Which wires are need to be hooked up to test the main starting functions?

Thanks..

you could hook up  the 12v inputs on the p4 (the red ones) ground the p2 ground wire. To test the locks, ground the wires with the fuses on them on the p3.

test the blue and the brown for ground output when you lock and unlock. Plug in the receiver cable and the reveiver at the END of the cable. plug in the on and off swithch turn it on. make sure NONE of the other wires are stripped. Remember you have to tach input, or brake i nput to stop the remote start function. Try and "start" it.....test the outputs on the other wires on the P4. Test the locks....thats all you can test.

I HAVE NO IDEA IF THIS WILL WORK, SO DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK. I am an astro guy, but have NEVER needed to bench test a used unit.. If the remotes are no working, check the connection of the receiver cable. If they still don't work......follow the instructions for the programming of new ones. pin 8 up, hit the brakes (touch the white and green to 12 volts) push one of the buttons on EACH transmitter you have. flip down the #8 pin. touch the brakw wire to 12 volts ( the whitw and green) that should learn the remotes......

This is not easy..... good luck

If you get any reading from the starter outputs, and the locks.....unhook, or turn off your power supply, you don't want the relays inside staying energized.
