remote start sets off security system
I have a 2005 f350 that I just bought from a friend. It has remote start on the truck. But every time I try to use it, it sets off the alarm. I have read the Deluxe Vehicle Security manual. Using the Trip ID chart its giving me a entry door was tripped alarm. I thought that the truck was tripping the shock sensor. But its not even trying to start. Any ideas?

Do you get any door ajar warning lights on the dash - if the truck is fitted with this feature?
Good luck - and let us know what you find!

ok i did what you said. It didn't set off the alarm. But the truck still wouldn't start. It acted like it was going to. But never engaged the starter. Did this about five times then stopped. What now? Thanks for the help by the way.

The idea behind re-programming is that the car immobilizer no longer recognizes the bypass module - which is nothing else but an ignition key transponder installed permanently on the car and recognized as any other key. Normally, the immobilizer will never allow the engine to be started unless a known key is inserted. Well, with the remote starter there's no key in the ignition, so the bypass module acts like a key by means of an antenna loop installed around the ignition, on top of the immobilizer's own loop antenna. The bypass has a chip connected to this antenna, so when the remote starter starts the engine, the immobilizer looks for a key, reads the immobilizer bypass module, recognizes it as a key and allows the engine to start. If the bypass module failed, or the immobilizer lost its programing, the remote starter fails to start the engine and the alarm is tripped.
Try to keep one ignition key next to the ignition and activate the remote starter. If the engine starts, your immobilizer bypass unit failed, or the immobilizer programming is gone - reprogram the keys at the dealer. If the engine doesn't start, the problem is with the remote starter itself (it doesn't see all preconditions/contacts as they should be ... could even be the hood switch). Let us know ... and good luck!

No it is not a factory system. This is a after market alarm. I work selling factory remotes and i can tell you that year of car does not have it.
Its better to just take off that alarm system because you will have future problems even if you fix it. I have taken off several of these alarms and returned the car to its normal state.
I live in houston and if u need this service call 832 880 7369. eli.
