My wife's works by pressing the red panic button looking thing with the * symbol twice. Different systems have different starting methods. You probably are not using the right one yet.

Never thought about that, I just assumed that I hit the key button once or twice and it would start, I'll have to try diff combos.

You really should be looking for the brain of the system, then you can tell where the wires are running to and really start to diagnos the problem. If your doors aren't working then maybe they were never hooked up. In my car I have the ability to run doors off of my alarm and my remote start but I keep them seperate to avoid putting all my eggs in one basket. Furthermore, if when you push the remote start button and the brain is clicking (relay closing and releasing) then the brain is doing its thing, but I would look to see if the wires are still in place, then check fuses if they are there, if that is good then you have a problem with either the wiring or the brain. To find the brain just listen for the click when you push the button.

I'll have a closer look at everything tonight when I pull it in the shop, it's too cold out to try and do anything outside right now
