EVO-FORT1 for a 2014 Ford Focus SE (SFE) (Automatic Transmission) as a stand-alone installation (3x door lock start). I have the T-harness installed along with the connections to the Lt. Blue, Blue, and Yellow/Black wires on the harness. I have also connected the CAN bus signals. As I go through the 2-key programming sequence, the relay on the EVO-ALL will enable the ignition DURING the 3-second time of the 2nd key. When I remove the 2nd key and press/release the programming button, the unit never shuts off the ignition and neither the blue nor red LEDs flash. I have to remove power or the red connector from the EVO-ALL to turn off the ignition. I also tried pressing/releasing the foot brake as well.

During the programming sequence, I notice that the yellow LED will sometimes go on and then off. If I plug in the unit without putting it in programming mode, the unit will blink the blue LED if I press the door lock button.

I have been following guide #32051.

Does this indicate a problem with the unit itself, or is the pre-loaded firmware corrupt and needs to be re-programmed? (I will need to purchase a EVO Flash Link updater.) Is it a possible connection issue? Is it an issue in performing the programming sequence?

The biggest question I hear when it comes to the EVO-FORT1 combo is that the module "will not program"....9 times out of 10 it is that the 3 main connections were left out!!! So below is the 3 types of connections that are done between the evo and the t-harness.

TYPE 1 CONNECTION

In the above image commonly used on the 40 bit type systems its basically match the colors between the t-harness and the 20 pin connector. Be sure to isolate the Yellow/Black wire from the T-Harness as it is not connected.

Type 2 CONNECTION

In the image above commonly used on 80 bit systems we match the colors EXCEPT you are not connecting yellow to yellow rather the yellow/black from the t-harness connects to the yellow wire from the 20 pin connector and you isolate the Yellow wire in the T-Harness.

TYPE 3 CONNECTION

In the above image it is exactly the same as connection 2 but in addition to the Yellow/Black being connected to the Yellow of the evo-all, we are also connecting the Purple/Yellow along with the Yellow. Isolate the Yellow wire from the T-Harness.
