I have an Astrostart remote starter model 903. my remote has stopped working properly, it works sometimes, then won't, meaning it won't even light up. Put new batteries in it, does same thing. bought a another remote on ebay, it does the same thing. It won't even light up. What's wrong with these things? I got it programmed when it worked but then it won't even light up when a button is pushed. 2 remotes with same problem, something is wrong here.Cant' get any help from the company either.

If you have lost the tach signal on your 1999 F250 Super Duty 7.3 diesel with the Astrostart remote starter, there are a few things you can try to get the signal back:

1. Check the wiring: Make sure all the wiring connections are secure and free from damage. If there are any loose connections or damaged wiring, it could cause the tach signal to be lost.
2. Check the tach signal wire: Make sure the tach signal wire is connected to the correct wire on the truck's wiring harness. The tach signal wire should be connected to the green wire with a red stripe on the 7.3 diesel engine's wiring harness.
3. Reset the remote starter: Try resetting the remote starter by disconnecting the battery for a few minutes. This can sometimes help to reset the system and restore the tach signal.
4. Check the settings on the remote starter: Make sure the settings on the remote starter are correct for your vehicle. You may need to consult the owner's manual or contact the manufacturer for assistance with this step.
5. Consult a professional: If none of these steps work, you may need to consult a professional technician or electrician who has experience working with remote starters and tach signals on diesel engines. They will have the knowledge and tools needed to diagnose and repair the issue.
