i just installed a remote start on my car. it starts perfectly. and stays running, but once i push unlock to open the doors the car dies. it does not die when i hit arm/lock.

i have the hornet 861t

what wiring problem did i run into? any ideas?

TIA

installation went pretty well. the previous alarm i had was the Clifford Matrix 3. the primary harness plugged right into the new alarm. the only wiring difference was the yellow, and white/blue. in my new alarm they yellow is unused to i disconnected it. as for the white/blue, it was never hooked up before, and it remains disconnected.

this diagram is from the Cliffor matrix 3 alarm


this diagram is from the new Python 881xp



now on to what is going on wrong. the car starts fine when i push (*) twice. icon for start goes on and stays on on the lcd screen.

but when i go to unlock/disarm the alarm the car dies, and not like a safetly switch has been triggered. because the start icon goes away (just like when i push the (*) button to turn off the car.

ive done some tests, ive hit the brakes when its running, and the start icon stays lit but the car dies, the samething happens when i open the door.

someone on a nother board was saying that the remote is programmed wrong. they think the unlock/disarm button is programmed to shut the car off. to me this sounds like the most plausable idea.

any help would be appreciated.

ps. could this relate to me not using the white/blue wire on the primary harness? if so where do i hook it up to on a 2001 integra?

pss. this is the diagram i used to hook up the remote start

I would try and reprogram the remote, it sounds like remote start shutdown is programed to the unlock button.
Sorry, I can find no info on a Hornet 861T at DEIs site.

How do you remote start the car, [what button(s) do you press] and does pressing and holding the same button(s) shut down the remote start? 94

i use the (*) button to start the car. i press it twice. the car starts and runs. if i push the same button again, it dies. its weird too, when its running the lights flash about every 2 seconds. not sure if it is supposed to do that

 

Yeah, definitely sounds like the unlock button is programmed to shut it down.

And yes, the lights are designed to flash as the default setting from the factory... You can program them to stay on. Instructions are in your manual.

 

how do i go about reporgramming it?

 

bump for help

 

Turn to the "remote programming section" in your manual...

 

First since your car in a 2001 what IMMOBILIZER by-pass are you using? And do you have the IMMOBILIZER wire that see's ground during the remote start process tag to the orange wire on the "h-1" harness. This wire does not put out a ground when the car is disarmed and if you tagged your IMMOBILIZER wire input sence to it it will shut the car off when disarmed.

Also this is the tag in sheet you should have used... http://www.directwholesale.net...eID=6 There may be a bypass module that does not need an extra key

Also even though the plug is the same, [H1] Clifford Matrix 3 and the Python 881XP the wiring is not at all the same, colors maybe, [and not all] but pin-outs are not... http://www.directeddealers.com...5.pdf

The white/blue is remote activation, [a momentary ground on the wire would start the car, [Python] and it is Ch3 programable output [Clifford],

If you, as it sounds like you did, used the harness, [H1] from the Clifford into the Python I don't understand how it's working at all, or am I missing something? 94

 

thanks for everyones help, i figured it out. i had an internal short to ground in the brain. swaped it out tonight and works perfectly
