my remote start stopped working. anybody knows here the clutch safety switch is at? a picture would help. im tryin to bypass the clutch. thanks

 

Between the clutch pedal lever and the firewall.

And when you say that it stopped working, what exactly does it do or does not do...

 

like it was working fine yesterday then today press the button on the pager and wont start up

 

That's not what I asked... I know it doesn't start... I asked what exactly it does... Do the parking lights flash? Do the relays click? Does it crank? What brand/model starter? How do you expect anyone to help if you don't give details???

 

nothing flashes at all. relays dont click. doesn't crank. i got a clifford rsx 3.5

 

Thank you.

Check to see that your on/off switch hasn't been inadvertently switched off. Check to see that your hoodpin is functioning properly. If those are good, then check the main fuses on the primary harness going to the alarm brain (verify that they're good with a test light or meter, not just by "looking" at them...)

 

ok, i checked everything. all of the fuses are good. any other suggestion?

 

Try rebooting the unit by unplugging H1 and leaving it for 30 mins, then plug back in.

What y/m/m is this installed in?

 

1989 crx dx, going to go unplug and see if it works

 

that didn't work. anything else?

 

Is the transmitter giving you the out of range beep? What's the transmitter doing?

May just have a dead brain... Assuming that you had it installed at an authorized dealer, take it back and have them swap the brain.

 

i see the transmitter giving signal on my pager. it doesnt give me the out of range beep

i guess im out of luck, because i didn't get it installed at an authorized dealer

 

Is it in valet mode? Does the siren chirp on arm/disarm?

 

Valet mode shouldn't have anything to do with remote start, should it?? I didn't think valet mode turned the remote start function off, but I'm really not sure... Something to check I guess...

Is the CRX a manual?? How is the clutch bypassed? I know you said that the hoodpin and on/off switch were okay, but I'm still wondering about them... Are the terminals on the on/off switch grounded out? Do you have a hoodpin or mercury switch? I've seen hoodpins fail due to corrosion, but still move up and down...

And like asked above, does the alarm function? LED flash???

 

My understanding is that valet mode bypasses everything but lock/unlock, but maybe I'm wrong

 

Valet mode does not shut down the starter.

To bypass the "Clutch Interlock Switch", connect the BLUE (-) status output wire, [4 pin connector on "Relay Satellite"] to the starter relay side of "CIS"
