Hello All, first post here. I've been working on installing a 1-way remote starter in my 2004 (XLT/4.0/4x4). I have followed directions and rewired it multiple times but never any success. Here's what I have now, maybe a fresh set of eyes will see something I don't. Also, as of last night, something shorted out at the ignition harness (i saw the spark) and now neither the R/S module nor the Bypass Module will get any power. Multimeter shows 12V and when I test voltage on the purple starter wire the voltage just keeps increasing indefinitely. Also, it appears that the key in ignition chime isn't working following aforementioned spark.

Remote Starter:

Viper 4105V 1-Way Remote Start System

http://www.amazon.com/Viper-4105V-1-...APAC8M24PKX7A9

Immobilizer/PATS Bypass Module:

XPRESSKIT Databus All Interface Module

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/xpresski...&skuId=4000003

All connections are soldered

Bypass module was flashed with most recent firmware

Used multimeter to test all wires before and after connection.

I will list all connections below. I have also attached pictures of a diagram I drew to help assembly everything. Please feel free to ask questions.

I have probably spent close to 40-hours working on this install. While this is my first remote starter install, automotive electrical is not something new for me. I sincerely thought this would be easy, but boy was I wrong. i'm determined to complete this install by myself. I'm not eager to have Best Buy install it, but it's looking like that is my only option at this point.

Thank you for taking the time to read this thread and consider my situation. Any input, suggestions, comments, or advice is greatly appreciated.

Pete
