Remote Start stopped working

florchak said:

I searched on a bunch of keywords to see if others are having issues with remote start but did not find the answer.

Mine stopped working with both keys. I follow the process I always have but instead of starting it just honks the horn. No start....

Anyone else have this issue and what is the fix?

The slider/windows should not effect the remote start function. Now if the hood were open, or the hood pin mount was bent, then the horn would beep, and the truck would not start.

If the fod batteries were weak or not making good contact then the system would not work. There's a TSB for 2012's and 2013/14" s have a different gasket.

Hey, folks!

It sounds like most of you with this issue are going to try to track down the cause yourselves, but keep in mind you can always visit the dealer if you run into any obstacles. If you need my help after your appointment, just say the word.

I thought it was strange too, but when hunting I run an cb antenna cable out through slider, and remote start wouldn't work (Just got horn honk). As soon as I pulled cable into cab and closed slider all the way, boom, remote start works again.

Nope, but congratulations you got me to go out and try it. The slider/windows have nothing to do with the remote start.

Sorry so slow, have not been driving the truck.

Tried hood switch seems ok..

Engine light is on but throwing a O2 code. Battery is strong and 16F here.

Honks when I lock door then honks 1 time when I try to start.

Open and closed all windows and back window still nothing.

Any other ideas?
