First make sure the batteries in your remotes are good. If they are good then I would say you have a defective unit.

have you check your battery on the control

This might sound stupid, but have you tried first replacing battery in remote, this could cause this instantly, just like a TV remote. First try that. Hope that solves it right away.

The seven flashes of the parking lights when you attempt to remote start is the tach signal not being programmed. If you hooked up the tach wire already, turn the ignition on, press and release the programming switch three times. Turn the key off, press and hold the programming switch and start the car. Continue to hold the programming switch while the vehicle runs. The parking lights will be flashing while the tach is being programming. Hold for at least 15 seconds for a good signal. This allows the engine to "smooth out" into a normal idle rpm.
If the parking lights are not flashing, the tach is not being programmed. You may have skipped a step during the set up for the programming or, you have the wrong tach wire. If you went to a injector or coil wire, it is the uncommon wire. This means that there exists two or three wires at the injectors/coil packs. One or two of the wires are the same color at all of the injectors/coil packs and one wire is a different color at each injector/coil pack.

You have to find the program overide button and reprogram the remote. First you turn on the ignition and then press the button 3 times you should have a confirmation chirp and then press the lock button 4 times ( if you have 2 remotes press it 2 times on one and 2 times on the other) then press the program button again and press the unlock 4 times( 2 and 2 if you have 2 remotes) and press the program button again and press the remote start button 4 times( 2 and 2 if you have 2 remotes) and do the same for the last button and you are all done.

If your alarm is going off intermittently:

It could be the shock sensor; usually located around the steering column under the dash. It is a small black box with two small lights ( one red, one green) and a philips screw used to adjust the sensitivity. Counter clockwise reduces the sensitivity.

It could be an open trigger: door, trunk, or hood pin. If you have a pin in the trunk or under the hood that was added by the installer, they sometimes can be inadvertently bent downward by loading the trunk or, some guy changing your oil. If that is the case, just bend them back upwards until they make contact with the hood/trunk lid when closed and you receive one chirp when arming the system.

Here is a quick way to determine what exactly is causing the alarm to trigger:
After the alarm triggers, disarm the alarm and pay close attention to the LED light. One flash is the shock sensor. Two flashes is the hood/trunk pin. Three flashes is the door trigger.

where did you get it installed? what kind of car is it? unplug the brain of the security system and see if your car starts

It sounds like the system is arming while the ignition is on. The most likely cause is either a loose connection for the ignition input or a defect in the system.

CHECK TO SEE THAT NEUTRAL SAFTEY SW IS IN THE ON POSITION... THE HIDDEN SWITCH......

WHEN U UNPLUG THE ALARM BRAIN THE TRUCK SHOULD START.CHECK THE STARTER WIRE IN VEHICLE.IF CUT MAYBE NOT A GOOD CONNECTION

You need to reprogram the remote, what is the model number of your alarm? You need to just push a certain sequence of buttons. If you have the manual still than it should be in there.

test the remote battery, or take it to a parts store and ask them to do it, could be a failing battery causing a glitch signal or something, or if its coming on in the same places perhaps there is another remote coded the same in that general location

try putting the key in the ignition and turn it to on (dont start) try using remote start button if it works you may need a anti theft module or spair ign. key.

Is the remote start programmed for voltage sense?. If this does not work a tack wire should be used.
