Remote Start on '95 240 SE
Remote Start on '95 240 SE
I'm trying to install a Clifford Matrix Remote Start on my '95 240SX SE Manual, I've got everything hooked up properly I believe, and the remote start tries to start, but the starter won't crank. The instruction manual says that if the car as an immoblizer, that could cause the system to try and start and the starter to never crank. I'm thinking that the stock alarm may have something to do with what's going on. If anyone knows anything about this, I would much appreciate someone hitting me back. I'm fiending for my remote start, and it's killing me that I'm so close yet so far. If anyone knows what's going on and would be kind enough to contact me directly, my email is [email protected] Thanks. :help
The OE alarm won't affect it, however, are you grounding the clutch switch? It'll never work unless it's tripped or bypassed. And are you powering both starter wires? Most Nissan has 2 independent starter wires, one is the solenoid feed while the other is the called the "hot start", this trips the fuel pump and ECU. You need to supply 12 volts to both.
ok, i have this same post up in another section anmd you're the second person to mention the second starter wire, see, I didn't realize that.. and I think that the two of you have most likely solved my problem. Now all I have to do is get to trying it. Unfortunately I live in an apt complex though so I might not have a chance for a little while.. heh, but I definitely thank you very much for that info, hopefully that'll be the only problem I've got. Thanks Again.
i got a question about remote start on a manual. i know you can do it, but do you just gotta make sure you leave the car in neutral when you get out or. also when you get in do have to put the keys in first or what. i got a 96 se, no alarm but im gettin one with the remote start option, so how does all that work. i never reallyl ooked too much into it. but i saw this post and figured it the perfect oppurtunity to learn somethin. i appreciate it.

Yes your car has to be in neutral. If its in gear it will lurch foward and never start. I dont know about the keys because I never owned one. Just guessing so please dont take this as its a fact. But your steering colum should still be locked. So yes you would have to turn the key to on but not far enough to crank the starter or else you will hear the most evil sound on planet earth. Gears grinding, well unless its comming from a honda than its music to my ears.

I always thought it was your starter trying to engage a turning flywheel. Metal on metal kind of thing. Then again I am not a mechanic, But it sure sounds like metal teeth grinding to me. I am married and my wife sure loves to try and restart our other means of transportation after its already running and I can be in the house with my stereo on and I will still hear that sound.

Yeah... when u try to start the car while it is already running the car will making that grinding sound which is.... the starter trying to spin the flywheel which is already spinning... very bad and sounds awful..... about the remote starter, i know alot of shops around where i live will do it on a automatic car but won't do it on a manual (they know how to do it still) because of the liablity issues and that the installer can get killed while working on the remote starter... it sounds really dangerouse to have a remote starter on a manual transmission but if u can do it, more power to u.... just be really careful and not do stupid things like leave the car in gear..... i heard from people that if u have the engine on and u try to drive by pressing on da brake, w/o the key in the car, it will just shut down..... i think the remote starter is really cool and personally would get one when i have the money.... sorry for the long post.... later peeps
ok first off you have to see if you have a chip in your keys, if it is theres a certain resistance u have to put in line of your startin wire comin from ur alarm brain, if not then try to find another tach wire, the alarm might not learn the tach properly, and if you dont wanna deal with the tach wire, then the alarm should have a program feature for you to switch to voltage. That solves alot of problems, thats all I can think of for now!

No Nissan vehicle before 99 has a chip in the key. 240s were not made after 98. How do you figure that would be the problem?

well if your key dont have the chip then I think it's your tach, because the alarm has to know when the car has been actually started, and the only way of knowing is thru the tach wire, most tach wires in cars are on the fuel injectors, look at all four of them, each injector has 2 wires coming from it, theres one wire that has the same color in all four, one other wire is different from the rest, THAT is the wire you wanna tap onto, knowing DEI alarms, the tach wire coming from the brain should be a thin purple wire, connect that wire to that tach wire and see how that works out.
