Questions & Answers

2015 Dodge Dart, Manual Transmission. EVO One SN 002B04248404 with both factory key fob (tip style) and  Crimestopper Revo 4.1 Extended Range fobs. Installed using CHAR7 T harness.

Installed per guidelines. Seemed straight forward. Programmed Module using default suggestions. Decryptor appeared to work without error. 

Was able to start vehicle using factory key fob. Performed manual ready procedure…. Brake pedal, E brake, removed ignition key. Vehicle continued to run. Exited the vehicle and closed the door. At this point was unable to get the vehicle to stop running. Vehicle’s dash did indicate when the door was open and subsequently closed. Confirmed all  other doors and trunk were closed throughout the installation and testing. Hood groundout was wired but the hood remained closed and we confirmed the hood pin adjustment wasn’t grounding the module out.  

In one attempt, we started the vehicle, performed the manual ready mode procedure, exited the vehicle, waited 20 seconds, and then using the Revo fob lock functionality was able to shut off the vehicle but still, click 3 unlocks or the factory keyfob or “start” on the Revo fob did not result in the car starting. 

(8 hours later……)

After multiple attempts and rechecking the wire harness for correctness, reviewing the question and answers info on Fortin, and praying to the “Remote Gods”, we gave up. 

Any advice? Also… help me understand how many times I can reset the module and run the decryptor application. In an attempt to get this working, I think I performed the operation 4x’s. 

I seem to remember you can brick the module if you run the crypto too many times. Then I read something about as much as you want within a 5 year of module manufacturing date. Please clarify this. I certainly don’t want to “brick” the module.

update: Confirmed that the EVO One module cannot be "bricked". Worst case scenario is that it has to be reset by Fortin Support, but that it can be reprogrammed manytimes (at least for the same vehicle) manytimes without losing it's functionality. 

Have been able to get the car to run after removing the key from the ignition, but have not been able to get the car to shutoff when closing drivers door as indicated as a step or procedure in the "Manual Ready Mode Manual". Was able to get the vehicle to shut off via the start option on the aftermarket Revo 4 FOB, but that seemingly put the vehicle out of "ready mode" status as it would never allow for a successful remote start. 

Still scouring for answer as to why the vehicle will not shut off on its own when exiting the vehicle thus remaining in "ready mode" and allowing the remote start functionality to work properly.

Hi Guys,

need some help figuring out how to fix this problem.
My 2017 will start when I turn the ignition to run position. Then when I press the Shift gear release, the vehicle will turn off. Once I release the shift gear, the vehicle will turn on again.

I had the Fortin remote starter since 2019 and was working well. I added the rf kit and programmed fortin evo-all and was working.
I did some changes to the setting on the fortin evo all with the flashlink manager. after that, car won't start anymore with the remote start.
I reflashed the unit to see if it can work. but no dice. I was trying to do the 2 key programming but didnt work. turned the vehicle off.
Now the evo all wont go into program mode when attached to the vehicle and the car won't start. It wont even turn on when the unit is connected.

I removed the unit and that's when it will start when I turn the ignition to run. and shut off when I press the shift gear release. Then once I let go if the shift gear, it will start again.
It looks like its stuck into the remote stat system.
I removed all the t-harness wiring of the fortin and returned everything back to stock. But it's still doing the same.

I have removed the Negative battery that is attached to the frame and removed the positive terminal as well overnight. I haven't done anything yet today and will wait until I get back home to try and see if it would reset the ecu and go back to normal.

Question as well, can I short the Positive wire (Disconnected from the battery) and the Negative wire (Still connected to the battery) to reset the electronics or should I remove the negative battery terminal to do it? Its really hard to remove the negative terminal and easier to remove the one that is attached to the frame.
Or leaving the battery disconnected for 10+hrs is enough?

Thank you very much!
