The software does not have effect on the power consumption. The module will go sleep at the same time the vehicle sleep. Disconnect the remote starter, and test the current consumption of the vehicle. Ford will take 30-45 minutes before lowering consumption. Hood must be closed to test properly, you can latch the hood.

The check was carried out, the car falls asleep after 15 minutes (consumption 0.03 A), when the unit is connected and the engine is muffled, the key does not fall asleep after 1 hour. Therefore, the question arose with the software.

B3 and B4 are the wires that feed power to the module and they are necessary YES. The red and the black wires in the B connector entering the connector must be connected.
