The alarm works, it locks and unlocks. However when I press the start button it turns on my exterior lights, dummy lights, makes a click sound and then does nothing. I know nothing about auto starts and whoever put it in did a pretty sloppy job under the dash. Anybody have any suggestions for what to look for?

does the click sound like the solenoid throwing the gear to the flywheel?

I'd say a little softer sounding, car starts fine with the key...

My 2 cents: Remote Starter Switch died. Most are made in China.

Sounds like the wire running from the remote relays to the 'start' wire on your ignition switch doesn't have a good connection. I had to hook up one of these remote starters at work a few weeks ago, let me know if you need any pointers.

Definitely check the wire that goes to the start wire with a multimeter. I wouldn't be surprised if the output on the remote start module is fried. Also could be from an unprotected output on the module that got fried from a voltage spike.

He's probably hearing the relay in the alarm itself click, not the starter solenoid firing. I'd check first to make sure they hooked it up at ALL.

Also some kits need to "learn" the tach. Make sure that's been done as well.
