Ok update 1 Antenna was chopped in half 2 box suppost klick/ 4 times when u plug it in, mine clicked/flashed only twice. Went to junk yard got 2 more boxes and two antennas for 9 bucks . One of them actually clicks 4 times and antenna flashes like its supposto (didnt even think of antenna my own fault being a dummy) So box in truck antenna flashing just gotta figure out how to program it. If a guy changes antennas will it work with another box? Its got a push button on antenna for something. Thanks all!

It's hard to tell from your pictures but what isn't working? Is it locking and unlocking? Is it starting or not starting? Our trucks do have negative pulse at the ctm for lock and unlock but you generally need to five wire relay these.

That remote starter is a really shitty unit. It does not have very high current capabilities and our trucks draw a lot of current when they start.

The only thing you should need to get the truck started is first and second ignition, the starter, and a long enough crank time. We don't have any kind of security on the truck.

This is the wiring for your vehicle, take a look and see if it corresponds.

Is that a thing? That the module does not recognize the fob? I have a Ct3471TW the remote came with the unit but antenna was busted off so i grabbed one from auto wrecker could this cause a problem? While I was there I picked up a bunch od different command start modules but none of them seem to receve a signal from fob. The fob is sending a signal out sooo any help?

They had different frequencies so somebody else can not unlock your truck.

If you like it then, go buy a new set up for 2-500 bucks. Another modern brand.
