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.

2000 stratus beeps twice, flashes twice, repeats untill stopped, but it drives

This is usually a good situation to bring to alarm shop and have them take it out and see if you can just keep the remote start or it might need a new brain on the alarm system

How to reprogram Python 4Button Remote 474P ?

I had the exact same thing happen with my 4-button 474p remote. WITHOUT REMOTE START the correct sequence is:

1. Enter car - Leave door open.

2. Turn key to "on" position.

3. Within 5 (five) seconds press the Valet button 7 times then hold down. (Programs to channel 7)

4. Watch alarm light - It should now flash 7 times.

5. While still holding down the Valet button - Press the "lock" button on the remote and release. Should get a "chirp"

6. Now release and repress the Valet button once, holding down. You'll get the "chirp". Release Valet button.

7. Turn key "off". Exit vehicle and test remote. All 4 buttons should now work.

I have a viper 791xv carstarter/alarm the battery had to be replaced on the car and the alarm works but the remote sart won't start the car on key pad it shows it 's start but then it beeps and is gone...

The parking light flashes are a diagnostic report to alert you to the reason the remote starter is not working:

5 flashes; brake wire is active
6 flashes; hood pin is active
7 flashes; manual transmission mode is enabled and not initialized
8 flashes; neutral safety wire has no ground or the switch is OFF.

Count the flashes and you will be able to go directly to the problem. Enjoy.

Battery dead.when i try to boast the car alarm goes off and i can"t turn it off without removing boaster cables

Try manually disarming the system when you hook up the battery cable. After you hook up the cable ( the siren will be going), turn ignition on, press and release valet switch one time. The siren will stop and you will be able to start the vehicle. Test the remote. If the remote is not working, and the battery is good, try reprogramming the remote. Turn ignition on, press and release valet switch one time. Press and HOLD valet switch, press lock button on remote. You will hear a confirmation chirp when the remote is programmed. Turn ignition off. Test system.

Installed the prestige remote start(aps687n) on my 95 jeep grand cherokee but when i try to remote start my parking lights just flash 7 times and nothing happens. Any ideas???

Yes, the seven flashes mean that the tachometer setting has not been programmed. If you hooked up a tach wire (green with orange stripe) to an uncommon coil or injector wire, then you have to program tach: turn ignition on, press and release programming switch three (3) times. The parking lights will flash once to confirm. Turn ignition off. Press and hold programming switch. While holding the programming switch, start the vehicle. The parking lights will flash to confirm that the remote starter is getting a tach signal from the vehicle. Continue to hold the switch for approximately 15 seconds.The parking lights will continue to flash while holding the switch. Release the programming switch. The parking lights will come on solid for one second, then go off. The tach is not programmed. Turn ignition off. Test system.

Spy 5000m remote start issues

You need to adjust the tachometer sensing wire, it usually wraps around a spark plug wire so I can sense when the car starts. On my spy alarm, the wire was grey. Hope this helps.

I hooked up my alarm and when I hit the remote start button, car does not start. Then the dash lights blink 7 times and the blue led on the valet switch blinks 3 times over and over.

Hi,
Thanks for writing to Fixya.com .

This sounds like a bad fuse. The fuse is likely under the dash below on the driver side. Look up under the dash below the steering wheel and confirm location. The fuses will either be plugged into the module or as in line fuses coming out of the unit.

Thanks for contacting Fixya and please accept the solution if it has helped you.
