As I bougt my jeep a while ago, when i pulled the brake switch because the lights werent working correctly i noticed a large wiring harness and my dad who is a very good mechanic told me it was for a remote starter. When I bought it i never recievedc a remote with it. Is there anyway i could buy a new remote without having to replace the wires? Would I have to go to a jeep dealer? Thanks, Marc

find out the make or manufacturer of the R/S, contact them with the model # and they will sell you a new FOB and direction on how to re-program the brain.

i have a hornet remote starter/alarm. and last year out of nowhere i would remote start it and it would start and stall almost instantly. it kept doing it and then the alarm started to not disengage sometimes. i went to rayco and ziebart. both wouldn't even look at it. they just wanted to sell me a new system so i just unplugged the system all together. anyone knowledgable with this stuff. any advise?

all i "know" about them is your vehicle will NEVER BE THE SAME after you get them i just got the viper system which is an alarm/remote start but it has anti grind protection to stop that from happening and as far as the stalling i dunno.
i would just assume not have remote start but i needed an alarm and it was part of it. so i went with the best i could find which was viper. as far as brands go in my opinion your better with the viper because of the warrentee and customer support. other names which are made by viper but dont offer the same support but are cheaper are not worth it in my opinion.

FYI, a PROPERLY installed remote start will NOT HARM ANYTHING in the vehicle. most problems that people have after a remote start installation is due to an improper installation.

Jerry, you have a DEI R/S. the first thing I would suggest is ooking under the dash for a small black momentary switch. start the jeep, press the switch and hold for about 5 seconds, see if that works. should re-program the tach signal.

well, i was playing with it today. i didn't get a model # yet. but i got the alarm part working. as for the remote starter part, it just cranks and cranks but wont turn over. i did try the reset thing you mentioned john. but to no prevail. any suggestions on the remote starter? i checked the fuses and they are good. there is like 7 relays under the dash for this alarm/remote starter but they are hooked up fine. i did find a pink wire that isnt connected to anything and i couldn't find anything to connect it to, so im not sure if it was ever used in the first place. hhhhhhheeeeeeeeeeeeelllllllllppppppppp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sounds like it may not be regulating fuel? Just a guess.

that pink wire is your ignition output from the RS, if it is not connected, then your ignition is not energized, so the starter cranks, but nothing will run. I would not recommend connecting it to anything if you are not familiar with the wiring, you may do more damage than good.
