2014 Subaru Forester 2.5i Not staying on. Immediately dies or the starter would click but not turn over

Question

I finished installing the EVO One on my 2014 Subaru Forester 2.5i. I connected all the required cable according to the guide. I used Flashlink to install the 84.12 Bypass firmware and 1.26 Remote starter firmware. I successfully completed the programing procedure in GUIDE # 97491 for Evo one with THAR-ONE-SUB1 harness using decryptor. I also enabled the 3x oem remote start setting. The issue I am having now is the would sometimes start momentarily then immediately dies or the starter would click but not turn over. I tried messing around with the tactless sensitivity levels in flashlink but still having the same issue.

Hello,

"The issue I am having now is the would sometimes start momentarily then immediately dies or the starter would click but not turn over."

- Often times if you have the IMO connection backwards it will do exactly that, start, run then shut down. The module will stil program even if the IMO connection is backwards. If the lt.blue/black wire is on the wrong side of the cut then information does not get delivered to the proper module when remote starting.

In the t-harness there are 2 diodes one for each starter wire at the ignition (these are shown in the wire to wire section of guide 97491), if one or both of the diodes becomes damaged when manipulting the t-harness during install you would get a no crank condition, to be safe I would also verify both diodes are still good using a multi meter.

Best regards.
