2013 Elantra PTS - EVO-ONE Won't Start

+1 vote
I installed a new EVO-ONE in my 2013 Hyundai Elantra sedan PTS. I soldered the wires instead of using quick splice wire connections. I double, triple, and even 10x checked all the wiring. I even called Fortin support because some of the wires on the standard install weren't the same color coming from the car, they said it's the wire position that's most important. I also purchased the Fortin RF remote kit. I bought the unit from eBay, the seller programmed the unit for the RF kit and the car.

I checked the parking light wire to make sure it wasn't +12v, once that was hooked up and knew that all basic install wires were connected, tried the remote start, and it did not start the car. The parking lights flashed 3 times, but did not start. Lock/Unlock/Trunk Release all work, but starter does not. I tried to check the various ignition wires with a multimeter at the harness plug, but I don't know if any are supposed to send +12v from the Fortin unit or not. I previously programmed the remotes and got the responses from the car that the instructions indicated I should get. I turned on the car ignition, got orange light on EVO-ONE. Locked the doors, the antenna started flashing blue, the EVO-ONE was flashing red. When trying to remote start, the EVO-ONE flashed red I believe, until the "did not start" signal came back to the remote.

Any help I can get?

Is your vehicle manual or automatic transmission ?

If it's automatic, you need to cut the yellow loop on the side of the module.

Wow....yup, that was it. I don't know how I missed that in the install pdf. After multiple times of taking the car apart and re-checking the wiring, I had it right the first time, just didn't cut the loop. Thank you for the response, was able to cut it this morning, and now be ready for the cold temps this week.

Please can you give me the information of the seller on eBay, who sell and programed the unit?.
