Why won't remote starter start vehicle from a distance?

Remote starter in valet mode Symptoms: Lock and Unlock buttons work as normal, but pressing Start does not produce any response from the vehicle.
Causes: Someone accidentally pressed the combination of buttons to put the car into valet mode, usually when the remote is in a purse or pocket. Also, many remote car starters will revert to valet mode when the vehicle is disconnected for service.
Hood Pin Has Broken or Failed Symptoms: Pressing Start results in several flashes of the parking lights but no start. If equipped, Lock and Unlock still function.
Cause: In most cases, the under-hood pin switch is broken or corroded.
Remote Control Loses Programming Symptoms: Pressing any button on the remote results in no response from vehicle.
Cause: It is rare, but does happen - in most cases, this is caused by a dead battery in the vehicle or the battery having been disconnected when being serviced.
Remote starters usually have some type of non-volatile memory to retain things like programming features and remote control codes. Like any "computer" device, sometimes they lose memory. When this happens, simply call the store that installed it for you. In some cases, they may be able to tell you how to reprogram it over the phone. Other times, you will have to return to the store for a technician to program it. In any case, this is rare with higher-end remote starters.
Remote is in Second-car Mode Symptoms: Pressing any button on the remote results in no response from vehicle.
Causes: A combination of buttons were accidentally pressed, which put the remote in second-car mode.
Again, this is very rare, but happens from time to time. Many remote car starter remote controls have the ability to start two vehicles. If the remote is accidentally placed into second-car mode, it will not start or operate vehicle #1.
Simply read your owner's manual or call your installer for directions on how to revert the remote back to car #1.

sounds like the bendex in the starter is not kicking in take it to a local auto electrician and get him to check it out

This could be a alternator that is not charging good or battery or starter or a bad wire or battery connection.

this is easy to figure out , first drive the distance you do and stop at a shop. then try to start car, if car does not start then have them first test the battery to see if it is low, then have them jump it and test alternator, if the battery is good and the alternator is putting out the correct amps then next check starter. if the starter is getting the 12.8 volts and the small wire is also getting the voltage with key in start postion then starter is bad, but with car not starting a shop will find the problem.

When it will not crank, a mechanic would check for voltage at the starter, the clutch safety switch, and the key switch.

Probably a starter. It sounds like the starter solenoid is working, but the starter motor is not energizing.

You could try this simple trick, but Im about 85% sure you have a bad starter.

Have a buddy help you push the vehicle in neutral for a short distance. When you get it moving at a walking pace, put the transmission in Drive, and let the vehicle come to a stop. You may hear a little clicking, but thats OK, it wont hurt anything. Put the transmission back in Park and try to start the engine again. Sometimes the starter gear gets stuck on the flywheel and it wont engage when you try to start the engine. This trick may move the flywheel a little so the starter can engage.

A starter motor problem won't cause the car to stop, You need to make sure that the earth leads from the battery to the body and to the motor are tight and that the surface they bolt to is clean, there could also be an issue with the electrical switch on the back of your ignition.

Remove negative battery cable from battery, jack up vehicle and put on jack stands, remove two bolts mounting the start to the engine (9/16" or 15mm usually), remove starter from transmission bell housing (look for any shims to fall out), remove all electrical wires from the starter and it's out. To install, reverse steps. If a shim fell out (it is big so you will see it) then make sure to reinstall it. The shim controls the distance between the starter gear and the ring gear, and 80% of the time is not required. Please rate and ask for further assistance if necessary

sounds like a starter. if possible without getting hurt maimed or mutilated, try tapping on the starter (best done with a rod standing beside the car) while someone holds the key in the start position. if car starts (works about 50% of the time) it's the starter. otherwise, if all lites come on, radio works, etc but nothing when you turn the key, replace the starter

Hello my name is Israel. I will try to help you out. I would first check to make sure it is not the alarm. You will need to get under the sterring column area and look for a black/yellow wire that is spliced. You will need to connect that wire back together. This black/yellow wire is for the starter. If the alarm is acting up and you spice this wire back together it should start. If the vehicle, after connecting this wire together, does not start then you probably have a starter problem. Hope this helps. Good Luck.

the starter is in valet mode. your led on your attenna is probably on all the time right??? turn the key on and off 5 times or check your manual to see how to get the starter off of valet mode. read your manual
