One would hope that the shop that installed your remote starter would stand behind their work and correct this problem. Your other options are to troubleshoot and correct yourself, or take it to a qualified shop to troubleshoot and correct. Then take that bill to the shop that installed the remote starter for reimbursement.
If the remote starter is installed correctly...No. All the remote starter does is emulate the key starting of a vehicle, without actually having the physical transponder key or unlocking the steering wheel and transmission shift. In order to do that , that is when you need the physical key. If the system is aftermarket and not installed correctly it could cause a short in the starting system or allow the vehicle to run endlessly without timing out. If you are installing an aftermarket remote start system I suggest you consult a professional installer as pcm and ecm are part of the starting system of new vehicles and must be treated correctly inorder not to short them out.
try tapping on the starter housing while somebody is in the car. have them try to start the car while tapping on it if it starts replace the starter. who may have a dead spot in the whindings. good luck steve
When you turn the ignition to start, the current going from the ignition switch to the starter actually goes to energize a relay which then sends full battery power to the starter solenoid to spin the starter. If that starter relay is bad, it will not "relay" the full battery power to the starter and the starter will not crank.
I have heard this click. It's electrical interference. When you remote start it doesn't turn everything on like the key would. It really shouldn't do this, but it doesn;t seem to hurt anything. If you had the remote installed recently ask the company about it.
My ex girlfriend had a factory installed honda remote strt on her vehicle. It was activated by hitting the lock button two times in succession. Some vehicles use a combination of the lock-unlock buttons. try using some combinations on the remote, many "oem" remote starts are installed by aftermarket installers so who knows what they did as a start function, it could also have been changed by the previous owner.
It won't remote start or, it won't start normally with the key?
