2014 Ford Explorer Problems

0 votes
Hello, 
I am having some problems with a StandAlone Installation on a 2014 Ford Explorer with standard key.  I am using the THAR-FOR4 kit with a RF-642W remote kit.  
Installation was simple, found the 2 wires I needed for lock/unlock and decided not to hook up the parking lights.  This vehicle doesnt have a OEM factory alarm, I tested by locking doors with factory remote and opening the car door from the inside via a rolled down window, no alarm sounded.
 
I can not get this kit to start my vehicle or do anything along those lines.  Here are the problems I am having and how it is acting:
*Programming of remotes went fine
*Programming of module seemed to go find (after programming I started vehicle with factory key and it would not shut off until I unplugged the module power)
*When trying to remote start with keyfob the red light on module turns on, then the yellow turns on and nothing happens.
*No lights on module turn on when trying to start with keyfob and the parking break is pushed in
*Module does not respond to lock-lock-lock with factory fob, no lights at all
*Vehicle will unlock with the lock button is pressed on keyfob
*Nothing happen with unlock button is pressed on keyfob
*Blue light on RF antenna constantly blinks while driving now.
 
I tried to install this kit on 10/24/19 and gave up when I started having these problems, very simple install.  I tried the current firmware and I also tried 1 version back with no success.  Any idea what could be going on?
 
Thanks
Jake

Turn D2 OFF

 

Redo car programming as it sounds like it never programmed. To simplify programming, disconnect the red connector. Once it is programmed, reconnect red connector.
