Hi,
I just removed the old stereo (Sony cassette) and installed a new one (Pioneer CD) in my 91 Explorer. I had a bit of trouble as the stock radio wiring harness had been cut and the wire colors didn't match. I was helped by this site (directed to a site that had the wiring diagram).
Anyway, after putting in the new stereo, I discovered that my remote starter isn't working right. When I try to use it, the engine starts but the starter doesn't stop. It keeps trying to start the vehicle after it's already running. I can't use it since it will destroy my starter/flywheel.....
I'm wondering, did the stereo install screw this up or is it just something that happened at the same time, but not related to the stereo being put in? Since I recently purchased the vehicle, I have no instructions or troubleshooting guide for the alarm/remote start. All I know is that it's a Viper alarm and the remotes have two buttons.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what to check since I don't have a clue.... I did remove the stereo and unplug it, but the remote starter still does the same thing.
Thanks,
Chris
PS..... On the plus side, the new stereo sounds great!
