In installed the EVO-CHRT5 in my 2012 Jeep Wrangler a coiple of months ago. The unit works fine, but when I exit the vehicle it chimes like I've left the keys in the ignition or have left the lights on. How can I fix this?

Hi Steve,

 

This is an odd one.. What happens if you disconnect only the 20 pin connector from the EVO while the chimes are ringing?

I am having the same problem with my 2008 Dodge Caliber. Because of this I can not lock or unlock my car with the OEM key fob anymore, also the remote starter does not work at all (Worked 3 times total before this issue arose). I tested everything I could according to the chrysler shop manual, and even replaced the starter switch, but the problem persists. It should also be noted that no lights on the Evo-all light up anymore. Using the Flash updated I am able to connect the Evo-all to my computer, and it recognized and configurable.

Service Numbers:
Evo-all: 001A06 300997
Flash-Link-2: 002502 010182
To clarify. Disconnecting the 20pin from the evo-all does not resolve the issue. Nor does entirely removing the evo-all and returning to factory.
Well, if the problem is still persistent when the EVO is not even in the picture, then we can rule it out.

 

The only thing left to look at would be the T-Harness and how / where you connected the Parking lights.
Did you check the parking lot wire is not connected to the wrong wire in your vehicle? Many of the bundled wires may look similar but can make the chime go off if they are grounded.
