The remote starter stopped working on my 2006 Buick Lucerne. The lights flash, but the car doesn't start. I've changed the battery in the key fob and tried the spare key fob. No luck yet. Any suggestions?

This sounds like the BCM has gone out but I would check all fuses first. Here is a guide to help you check the fuse and the location of the BCM I would remove it and check the connector for corrosion.

I would try a used BCM but you will need to get it programmed by a shop it should cost about $130.00

Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know what happens.

This worked perfect for me I had the same problem and fixed it using the is guide. All my fuses were good I had to replace the BCM had it programmed and all fixed! I love this site.
