After reading all the posts about the XpressKit 3x lock button remote start I couldn't wait to have my own. Ordered one from the Doug guy on Ebay and had it in a couple days. Had it all hooked up in under 5 minutes and then that's where the excitement ended...
The unit did not start the truck. I emailed the seller on Ebay and he helped me with some trouble shooting. I realized that with my model truck there were two extra wires that had to be hard wired in even with the "plug and play" harness. Okay no big deal, hooked them up and still nothing!
The dash lights up and everything turns on the way a remote start is supposed to work. Then I just hear the starter clicking. It sounds as though everything is working but the starter is just not getting enough volts to crank.
The seller on Ebay recommended I contact tech support for XpressKit. After some back and forth with them I found that the "starter wire" from the module is not producing the required 12 volts. They suggested the harness was bad. Contacted the Ebay seller again and got a new harness under an exchange. Got it today, plugged it in, and same problem. I've even reflashed the DBall module.
I decided to say screw the harness and just hard wire the entire thing. (It was only a few extra wires) Well.... still nothing. Everything on the dash lights up, radio turns on, and everything works the way a remote start is supposed to but the starter is just not engaging. The "starter wire" is still not getting 12 volts. I emailed tech support again, but they are located in Canada and closed on weekends. I won't hear back til Monday.
Does anyone have any ideas? This is driving me crazy. I ripped out my $300 aftermarket remote start that I was not happy with in order to put this in and now I'm remote startless and very sad!
Sorry this is lengthy but I wanted to include everything I've tried so that hopefully someone can help me troubleshoot.
