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!
