the no start situation.

are completely plugged into the remote start module. Make sure there are
good connections to the vehicle wiring.
3. Check voltage and fuses on the main 12-pin harness and on the
4. Heavy gauge remote start harness.
• The remote start does activate, but the starter never engages.
1. Check for voltage on the purple starter wire two seconds after the remote
start becomes active. If there is voltage present, skip to Step 4. If there is
not voltage present, advance to Step 2.
2. Check the 30A fuses.
3. If the gray/black wait-to-start wire is detecting ground upon activation, the
starter will not crank.
4. Make sure the purple starter wire is connected on the starter side of the
optional starter kill/anti-grind relay.

heavy gauge 10-pin connector should have a solid connection. "T-taps"
