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!

I installed the evo start LTE on a 2000 mustang gt convertible following the installation PDF and have not had any luck getting the evo one module to control any functions on the vehicle. It makes it through and the key setup completes successfully the red light on the unit flashes 10 times. I try to get it to start using the OEM key fob by pressing lock three times and nothing( i don't even hear any clicks or see any lights illuminate on the evo one unit). I have installed fortin units before but it was the evo-all on a 2013 nissan maxima. I remember on that install that once i selected lock from the OEM remote three times the Evo ALL unit would click a couple times and There would be a couple of lights that illuminated on the unit and it started the vehicle at that point. On the Mustang install It does not click or display any lights when you try the three lock commands from OEM remote or even any commands from the evo start app. I was not able to find the disarm - wire(Dark Green/Purple) to connect the disarm - wire on the Evo-One. I have access to wiring diagrams of the Mustang from Identifix technician site and the diagram states this wire on 1999 models only. From what i have found researching this that from 2000 models and on the only antitheft device is the PATS transponder around the ignition barrel. I believe that the disarm wire - from the Evo One unit is there just to disarm any factory alarm if the vehicle has one so im not quite sure if this is the root cause of the evo one not starting the vehicle but don't believe it is. One other area of concern is from the evo start app. The app is connected and paired and i get data back from the car such as voltage, temp, etc, but the app shows the doors on car in red and disarm icon shows in red as well. I can select lock or unlock, open trunk from app and from but nothing happens at the vehicle. Same with selecting engine start from the app. Im attaching a screenshot of wiring diagram mentioned stating 1999 models only along with screenshot of the app. I'm at my wits end with this unit and install and getting close to pulling this unit out of the vehicle completely. So any guidance, help, or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  https://drive.google.com/file/d/1KOBpTzM-EYKxnvhPk39h_6oibZHVRaAn/view?usp=drive_link
