I've got a Clifford Remote Starter/Door Lock Combo with 1000' range
Works wonderful. I had it professionaly installed as I'm not all that savy.
Plus it's great going into the grocery store and leaving it run with no keys on cold/hot days

Yeah, that is going to be nice to leave it running while doing stuff like that.

I'm using the 3rd for the rear defrost. I have my unlock setup so that one push unlocks the drivers door, a second push unlocks the rest of the doors. Sometimes that's a pain when everybody is running for all the doors at once, so I hooked up the trunk output to unlock all doors at once.

Yeah, most of the time I have someone riding with me, so i would rather to click once and all be unlocked. Yeah, I will surely hook up the rear defrost to it.

I have the remote start installed and working.....well the alarm is working. The only issue I am having is with the Tach Programming Procedure in the System Test and Programming section. These are the instructions:
  1. Insert the key into ignition.
  2. Press the brake pedal. (and hold in)
  3. Turn the ignition key on and off twice.
  4. Release the brake pedal.
  5. At this time, the horn/alarm should chirp twice letting you know that system has entered tach learning mode.
  6. Start the engine.
  7. The engine will need to run long enough for it to level out. Once the system has learned the tach sequence, the park lights will flash every five seconds.
  8. Press and release the brake pedal to exit tach learn mode and turn the engine off.
The issue is, I cannot get the horn to chirp during the programming procedure...step 5.
The truck will not remote start until the tach is programmed and then the PATS system is programmed.....and I can't program the PATS system until the tach is learned.

Troubleshooting steps I have tried:
  • I hooked the tach wire from the remote start to a different coil. I had it on coil #2 cause it was closer to remote unit. Moved to coil #1.
  • Checked and rechecked correct wiring
  • Instruction book says that if horn will not chirp, the brake pedal is not being registered or the remote system is in Service Mode. Brake pedal is registering and the system is not in Service Mode. I put the system in Service Mode just to take it back out of Service Mode to be sure it was not in that mode.
I plan on calling the Ford Technical Assistance number tomorrow, but any information you guys could provide would be very much appreciated. Thanks!

Is there a jumper inside the unit that has to be moved in order to use the tach method instead of the voltage change method?
