Car Alarms: 97 ford escort, remote start, ford escort


Question
I just installed a remote start by itself.  When the car is running, via the remote start, I can not use the factory keyfob to unlock the car.  How can I disable the ignition input, to the keyfob module.  What is the ignition input to the keyfob module?

Answer
The factory alarm needs to be
disarmed at the same time you press the
unlock button on the remote. The trouble in this car
is the factory alarm disarms with either the factory remote or,
by turning the ignition key to the run position.
If you installed only 1 ignition, try doing both.
It may correct the issue, it may not, but if not
energized during remote start, the second ignition
won't be able to provide the door lock with power
and won't unlock with the aftermarket remotes.

Try it. I believe it should correct it.
