Check to see if your remote start 'brain' is actually connected to the horn first. Mine was not. The horn signal is the brown wire (on the 9 pin connector) and I connected it to a buzzer so I could hear it when I pushed the remote button and valet button. The brown wire sends a negative signal out (200mA) so connect the other end of the buzzer to positive 12V.

Thanks for the information I to had the same issue with my Avital Remote Start. I had it professionally done and everything was working fine for a long time until weeks later I spent $600 on this Remote Starter/ALARM. I went back to the installer and he fixed it no problem and until 11/15/2016 while raining my remote starter came on and off so instead of driving back and burning more gas I found your video and seeing how you reprogram your remote starter I did the same and PRESTO IT WORKS again can you tell me how did you figure out this fix because it was very helpful to me. I could go back to the installer and I do not get charged for it but it is time and money on gas. But please let me know thanks for sharing your time on your video.

Thanks for the vid. I found that I had to leave the driver's side open to get this method to work. It's the "Valet" button which on the 5303 has a black and black with gray tracer for the wires going to the button.
