Not starting, could the remote start cause it to not start?

If the vehicle has an aftermarket remote starter, yes, it can cause a no-start condition.

I need some general information to help. First, does the starter engage when you try starting and the engine fails to run? Or, when you turn the key to start, does the starter not engage? Is the anti-theft/security lamp staying on with the key on?

Let me know as much as you can. If it is an aftermarket system, I won't have the specific wiring schematics, but I will try to figure things out for you.

Let me know.

Take care,

Joe

Gary,

If this is an aftermarket remote start, chances are that is the cause. Let me know if it is aftermarket. Also, when it fails to start, do you hear anything when you turn the key to the start position?

Hi,

What I recommend is this. We need to have the can-bus scanned. CAN stands for controller area network. Basically, the different modules are tied together via a few wires so they can communicate with each other. This type of scan will retrieve codes regardless of the module storing them.

Here is a link that explains how to do it:

Let me know if this is something you can do or have done.

Take care,
