12 volt solutions remote start - HELP
Just installed a 12 Volt solutions remote start kit. All was OK for about a minute then the entire dash went blank including all gauges and Sync 3. Head lights wont turn off. Took the kit completely out and still no dash lights, door locks just stopped working. Cycle the battery by disconnecting and still nothing. Any ideas?

Well, I blew the instrument cluster fuse. After replacing the fuse I installed the remote start again, and blew the fuse again. This is why we buy two fuses. I will be in touch with them on Monday and get a new unit. Just kind of freaks you out when you just spent 60K and something goes wrong.

I have now the 12 volt solutions kit... Its not reliable. I had the ford one and sent it back cause I couldn't figure out why I couldn't lock, unlock, lock my truck. Turns out it was my led cab lights causing interference with my fob... But before I found this out I sent it back and ordered the 12 volt kit I have now... Not happy with how it doesn't always start and when it does... It takes a, while before it does.. I dont feel I should be staring out the window waiting for it to start... Defeats the propose I did write to them about it... And they are gonna send me another unit out.. Hopefully it helps
If not I'll send it back...

What`s going to happen if you put another one in and instead of blowing a fuse, it kills something more vital and expensive like an ECM or PCM.

I know others have had luck with this kit but perhaps you`re not going to be one of those.......think about it.

It is a proven kit, its no different than any other aftermarket install we do........some have had problems with led lights for example. Some work and some do not, there is always a risk.

Lol.......I think you should cut your losses and take this as a sign to not use this kit because the repair on your vehicle only cost you a couple of dollars for two fuses.

Got my replacement kit today. Installed in 10 minutes with no problems. Thank you to the folks at 12 Volt solutions on getting out a new kit to me so fast.

Which kit? Sorry not trying to be uneducated. Just trying to find the best working kit... I just rewired the cab lights to the headlights... The 12 volt kit I have still has a big delay in the reaction time it takes to start... Sometimes as much as 30 seconds... I been counting lately... And other times it just won't fire.. No matter how fast or slow I input the sequence Even standing right beside it.

12 volt ship me on a replacement and I had it within the next day.
like I said I really like the kit and I'm pleased with it now I retract my statement if anybody took it negative.
I was just really frustrated at the moment
