Just had prostart installed on 2002 Dodge Gr Caravan.Replaced battery and now, remote start turns ignition on and cranks but will not start. Makes 3 attempts, shuts down. Door locks don't work either.

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.

Can a remote starter damage your ECM or PCM?

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.

I can't start my 1995 Wrangler. I have had the battery and the starter checked, both are good. My book mentions a "remote start relay", but doesn't tellme where it isor what it does,...

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.

My 08impala makes knocking or a clicking sound after I remote start it and then turn key. What is the knocking or clicking sound it sounds like its coming form them where radio is at. Is that my starter...

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.

2000 Toyota Rav4, just purchased. Has a two button Toyota FOB for door locks, alarm and remote starter? . The vehicle has a OEM Toyota remote starter installed but I don't know what combination of buttons...

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.
