    My wifes remote start does not work either. It all started just the other morning when she accidentially pushed the panic button... we just thought that had something to do with it not working that morning. Then this morning I tried to start it, I did everything right and it would not start. The remote works for everything else and the lights to flash as if it is going to turn on, but it never starts.

You need to first press the LOCK button and then immediately hold down the START button for 2 seconds - voila!

If your vehicle has a check engine light on, the remote start will not work. I also have a g6 so I know this to be true.

SOURCE: remote starter does not work but will unlock and lock doors.

depending on your alarm which it sounds like a viper model maybe? on my 02 you have to incorporate a factory alarm bypass module in order to be able to start the truck, they run about 100.00 bucks and have to be profssionally installed. The truck wont start because the computer isnt recieving the proper starting sequence due to the factory alarm

The drivers side cook lock does not lock or unlock using the remote. The other door do respond to the remote. What is the cause and solution?

Hi Charles

The drivers side door gets the most use
Check the actuator wiring coming through the door hinge
If it works from the key then the Power to the door is OK & the key switch is ok. Must be trigger wire from wireless device receiver!

Good Luck

Driver side door locking with remote but will not unlock, if i unlock it with key then remote will unlock all other door, if all doors are locked remote will not unlock the car. Once i manually unlock...

it is not the actuators, try a different remote, you may have an issue with the car security system/body computer not functioning on the unlock driver door command, one press of remote is unlock driver door and 2 presses is unlock the other doors.

We have a 2007 Entourage and you cannot lock it with the car running. We installed a remote starter and it will not lock the doors when it is remotely started. Can this feature be disabled?

i think that this is to prevent you from locking your keys in the car with the engine running.
Some remote starters have a feature that when the car is running (and in park) you can hit the remote start button twice for one second each - then you can take the key out of the ignition and still have the car running.
At this point....if you would hit the 'lock' button on your door the doors would immediately unlock. However, if you get out of the car and close the door leaving it unlocked and then you hit the 'lock' on your original car remote the doors will lock and stay locked. So now the car is running the doors are locked and you have the keys in your hands. Then you can run into the store or house real quick with your car locked.
Once you come back, you hit 'unlock' on the original car remote. the doors will unlock - you can get it - and then before hitting the brake put the key in the ignition and turn it (dont crank it) as if you had when originally using the remote starter.
Maybe this will work for you.....

Security will not reset

The disarm switch on the latch inside the door is most likely defective, pull the door panel and test it for proper function.

Power locking system

Do you have a remote starter installed in this vehicle? If so, you body computer is probably compromised. Aftermarket remote starters kills the body ECU with unfortunate regulararity.
