I have a Fortin INT-SL+. HW Ver 2 Firmware Ver 3.01 mfg date 04/2018 Service number 002102061867 I also purchased a Fortin flashlink-lite updater I have a 2000 Chevy Silverado with an older Chrime Stoppers remote start, and had on omega IB-GMBP.DB-PAS-23A Passkey override. The omega unit went bad and appears to be discontinued. I purchaesd the Fortin unit to replace it. I just need the passkey function of the Fortin. Wired it in configuration 5 without data link. When I follow the programming instructions, the red light will come on, but not start blinking when the key is switched on. I have checked my wiring. I'm pretty sure I have it right. The red light also does not go out after I start the engine. I read on this forum that GM trucks can be particularly hard to program and that there is a firmware version 3.06 that resolves the issue. I bought the Fortin flashlink-lite updater to upgrade my firmware from 3.01 to 3.06 The flashlink-lite updater seems to be working with my laptop correctly. The Flashlink manager 4 shows the flashlink-lite updater as connected. When I plug in my INT-SL+ the red light comes on for a few seconds and goes out. Flashlink Manager4 always shows the "module status" as disconnected. I tried holding the INT-SL programming button before plugging the INT-SL into the Flashlink-lite. The red light stays on but the "module status" doesn't change. I have seen youtube videos that show the Fortin modules connecting almost instantly when plugged into the Flashlink devices, so I think something is wrong. I suspect the INT-SL I don't want to buy more stuff until I'm sure that I'm going to solve the problem. I feel that I should troubleshoot the connection between INT-SL+ and Flashlink first, since those are Fortin factory connections. That eleminates my wiring as a potential issue in the flowchart. Is there a way to tell if the INT-SL+ is bad?
