Take it back to whom installed it!!! Perhaps have them check the brake switch!! Hi I have a remote starter. On both key fobs everything works except for the door unlock button. Lock, trunk and start work fine. As the remote start and electrical experts in Erie, Pa we do have an idea!

Does the vehicle what kind? What does your remote look like? Is this a programming problem they can fix or do I need to take it to the dealership? Would be nice if the GMC Dealer stays in communication with the alarm installer.

I disconnected the battery once, now my 2 way automate remote start works but I only from max 20ft range, before i could start from the middle of the mall. Now, not unless im standing in front of it! No led response either. It starts fine from 20ft with both remotes. I wonder whats gone wrong??

I had a remote start put on my Toyota Camry. Sometimes the car will start up without us touching the fob. I have to click the regular fob 2 times to shut my day running lights off when I go to lock it.

I told the person that installed the remote start that I click the fob 2 times and he told me that Toyota has something that would cause the car to start up by itself, and I should only click it 1 time. Is this true about Toyota and some remote start, or is he just feeding me a line. Thank you. The car starts up by itself? That is NOT Normal and that is downright dangerous.

Some cars will leave their headlights on until they see you EXIT the car. Get someone in your car to address your issues and fix your car!

It may think a door or hood is open. Make sure all sensors and latches are ok and make sure all the original domelights are working. Problem solved after reading a few different things on Google 3 flashes meant that the remote start was put in service mode which reminded me that also in that time frame I got my winter tires installed so I guess Canadian Tire put it in service mode for that and never took it out yay all fixed up glad I never had to pay to fix the problem.

To whom it may concern. Thanks for your tip on waht could be wrong with my Remote start. I begun having problems with my Remote starter little did I know that it would be as simple as turning the switch under the Dash Board back on. I have a GM factory installed remote starter new when I purchased the car I have gone back to the dealer several times and was told that it works fine the problem is it will run for only 10 minutes.

I live in Chicago and 10 minutes is not enough. Can warmup time be extended? They are only 1 hour 15mins from you!!! I have a Chev trail blazer my issue is my remote start works perfectly but am wondering if the remote can cause my doors to lock automatically.

When the car is shut off and I walk away my doors lock. I understand when you start it remotely they lock but this is after my car is shut offf doors are closed and I walk away. Could this be caused from my remote start or a different issue with my car. Thanks Cathy. Hello, You said, When the car is shut off and I walk away my doors lock. I have never seen a remote start do that.

At the Gas Station, at your grandmas house, everywhere. Is there a simple reset procedure? I have a Jeep Compass that I just purchased a month ago. I can still turn the car on with my remote start and the engine comes on but when I go to put my actual key in, the engine shuts back off. Some other people have been having the same issue online with their Jeep and they said it was the WCM. Have you heard of this before?

We have heard of it! Bring that electrical problem to our shop, located in Harborcreek just outside of Erie, Pa. Hello there. Is it possible that the battery in my Astro start remote needs replacement? Even though the green light is blinking faintly when I press start?

I had a remote starter installed. Code alarm CA I had it jumped. Every since I had it jumped the doors lock and unlock fine. But when I step on the brake the actuators in the doors click once. Then when I move about 50 feet they do it again.

I took it back to the place I bought it from. They said it had nothing to do with the remote start. The guy set some code to have the locks work with the brakes.

It use to work when I put it in gear. No one can figure it out. The garage I bring her to said it was the remote starter. Someone said to undo the battery put head lights on this would reboot everything. Can u help?.

The remote start has the ABILITY to lock the doors when the engine is running and it sees you push the brake for the first time before you shift into drive.

It sounds like that feature is turned on. Turn one of those features off. Could it be the relay switch off the yellow wire that goes to the transmission ECU? Some of these vans are complete nightmares in circuit design as far as we are concerned. Multiple circuits protected by one fuse etc It could be a relay… It could be anything… Get a smart person who works on remote starts to fix it… We can fix electrical problems and remote starters here in Erie, PA Hi , I had the automatic car starter installed 9 mo.

Have you had issues like this reported? Although I do not know what kind of vehicle you have nor what kind of remote start you have, I have never ever heard of someone needing to replace the starter on the vehicle 3 times. You need a smart person to look at your vehicle. We are located in Erie, PA I have not heard of a remote start automatically operating the windows.

It would seem like someone would have had to deliberately connect something to a window circuit…Did you take it back to the shop that installed the remote starter? I am curious to see how you solved this issue…. Can someone help me? About two months ago when I turn the key, the lights and radio will come on but engine will not turn over. Sometimes I would have to turn the key two or three times before the engine would start. I took it back to the dealership and they did a diagnostic check, says the alternator, starter and battery are fine, they think the the issue caused by the vapor remote starter, which was on the vehicle when I purchased it, and suggested I disconnect.

Have you come across this issue before? Trying to get some insight into my problem. It worked perfectly last winter but this time car tries to crank but does not start the engine. But strangely, when I key in the car and then try remote start, car starts! What could be the issue? We often see several dozen comments a day. It is something that we need to try to be better at. We have not been able to actively police or manage our comments and it is something we will try to improve upon.

Thank you so much for taking the time to address this issue. I am grateful for the help and information. My car will always start with the remote. Will only start with key when outside temperature is under 70 degrees. My wife read this post and said something about reprogramming.

I thought no way! I went online and downloaded the manual and saw something about out of sync. Yep, the instructions say pressing the remote out of reach of the vehicle may cause the device to be out of sync. Several presses 3 of the lock button and viola! Car now starts every time without having to start it up with the remote first!

Keep your manuals. No matter how old! Thank you so much. We were having the same problem and after I read your post out loud, my son ran outside and pushed the lock button several times and then got in the truck and it started with the key!! We are laughing and I have to cancel the garage from coming to get my truck.

Good thing you listened to your wife. Was having the same issue where the remote start was in a mode where it was stopping the physical key from starting the car and only the remote start would work. Just went out and pushed the lock button 3 times in a row on the remote start remote and now the physical key works again and will start the car. Saved a lot of time and money so thanks for the suggestion! Your email address will not be published. This site uses Akismet to reduce spam.

Car remote starters are luxury aftermarket upgrades that allow vehicle users to start their car or keep the engine running without a key in the ignition. As a result, those who choose this option for their vehicle will be able to start and warm up their car during the winter months without having to go outside in the frigid temperatures.

Many remote starter kits also have bonus features, such as being able to remotely open the trunk, or other security features, such as an upgraded alarm system. Check the battery in the starter and the receiving unit. Most remote starters have an LED light display showing that the battery is powering the keyless starter properly.

A bad battery is often one of the main reasons for remote starters to stop working. If the remote starter has been newly installed and it has not worked at all, then you may have a bigger problem than the batteries.

Put your ignition key into the vehicle's ignition, but do not turn on the vehicle. Push the remote starter button to start up the vehicle. If it starts with the key in the ignition, then your car most likely has an immobilizer system in the key.
