exmod110 Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Ok first off I am not working on this myself but it has me kinda scratching my head... 09 f350 6.4 remote start silver i think, just installed by another tec who is still working on it. put it outside when he was done seemingly working as intended. ONLY when it is cold (below freezing) command a start, it will sit through the glow plug cycle time then with out cranking the horn starts going off withe the marker lights going too... alarm going off... press the unlock and it shuts off, re-command a start and all is normal, no alarm, starts and runs as intended, let it sit a while and we start the alarm cycle again. He has swapped the secure lock deal and made no changes to the way it functions... ( inford had a couple with sim concerns and that fixed them) this only happens when it is cold leave it in the shop and every time it will work just fine..... any ideas???

Keith Browning Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 I have no experience with alarms and remote start systems but it sounds like a possible configuration problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exmod110 Posted December 3, 2008 Author Share Posted December 3, 2008 I was thinking that also but the fact that on the second attempt it works and went its warm it works no prob makes me wonder.. what has temp got to do with the alarm?

Aaron Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 up in the NWT I changed a WHACK of those securilock interface dealys, and have NEVER changed one before going up there. Maybe the extreme cold screws 'em up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Warman Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Sheeit.. 'bout time you surfaced.... What happened? Dog eat the keyboard? Don.. what breed of remote start is it? We farm all of ours out now. Could it be that the "honks/flashes" are trouble indications? The Code Alarm remotes will give flash codes if they encounter an error....

LARRY BRUDZYNSKI Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Or could it be that the parts/service guys have the extra remote and are screwing around with you???? Been there done that "priceless" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Browning Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 OOOOOH! That is off topic but funny as all hell! I have bout 5 remotes on a key ring that I used to use for testing. I happened to have them out one day when another tech was programming remotes on a Windstar. Ohhh ho ho ho! What fucking fun... I was in tears laughing so hard. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smirk.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exmod110 Posted December 16, 2008 Author Share Posted December 16, 2008 Well it was a step way back in the instructions to change one of the starter interrupt settings.. I'm still at a loss as why it would only act up cold.. but it is now working correctly... as Jim says go back to the basics and recheck all of the settings and instructions. after reading the instructions the bank programing was spread over several pages in separate areas of the instructions in separate steps. Ford gold system. Why can't they just put all the related info into one chart like they used to??? A bit of info here and another bit there and when u think you are all done then.... "if working on a diesel....." now go back into the programing and change this setting....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastendpowerstroke Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Be happy it had actual words in the instructions. I just installed a Neutral Tow kit in a sport trac, the instructions were all drawings,arrows, and cryptic symbols. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for Bruiser, Jim, something quite awful happened on my way back that I really am having a hard time talking about still...very very negative experience.
