SUBSCRIBE GET ME TO 1K SUBS!!!!! From my experience this is the most common remote starter issue, luckily it is an easy fix, and you can do it yourself. ru-vid.com?o=U&vide...
Hello..I replaced the battery in my truck and now my remote starter won’t work. The doors will lock and unlock,but will not start the vehicle..I tried your method but it still doesn’t work unless I place the key in the ignition (without turning)..Is there anything else I can try?
Your Instructional Video is the best! Short and Simple... and best of all, it worked! Straight forward and accurate! My car's responses and the Remote responses were exactly as described! THANK YOU!!!
Thanks my brother you just saved me 400$ cause the closest keys chop refused on checking or programming my remote and keys. Wich are the original ones. And just said replace for a new.. really appreciate your knowledge and professionalism. Thank you so much.
HOLY COW, it worked! THANK YOU SO MUCH, have been trying to do something about this for several months as I knew the cold was coming....they wanted over $200 locally to "fix" it. I have a Code-Alarm CATX4, the guy at the Batteries Plus store told me I could buy a new one and reprogram. I went ahead and bought a new fob, but thought I'd try this first and it worked. I had to do it a couple of times, but realize my battery is pretty low now. I have a 2005 Pontiac Vibe. THANK YOU AGAIN!
Best video on this topic! Thanks man. I’ve had this problem few times over the years and every time I was looking for an explanation video on RU-vid I watched tons but Always came back to yours cuz you explain the best!
Thank you Sir, I wasted so many hours at mechanic in 4 trips, he couldn’t be able to figure out & blamed something wrong with my Accord. Ur trick of 5 times with key worked like a champ. God bless you 🙏
so glad I found your video, thank you so much. Save me time and effort cause I was about to open the interior to check for any loose wire or burnt fuse.
Thank you very much for the tip. I got a new battery in my car,when the car came back the remote start wouldn't start. They charged me to try and fix it, then they couldn't fix it and sent me on my way. A two minute RU-vid video was the answer. Thank you again!
I can’t thank you enough for this video. My Jeep must’ve been in valet mode this whole time. I hit the two buttons like you said and then pushed the remote start button and it started right up. I took it in to have the thermostat replaced shortly after I purchased it and ever since then the remote start hasn’t worked. The mechanic must’ve put it in valet mode to work on it and forgot to reset it. I didn’t even know valet mode was a thing. Thank so much! 🙏👍
You’re a life saver bud!! Somehow my 2011 Rav4 went into valet mode (probably my kids)... i tried the trunk n lock button but didn’t work.. tried lock+unlock and it worked! I have a little thing behind my rear view mirror that talks to the remote.. it had a solid blue light since the car stopped started (remotely).. as soon as I pressed lock+unlock, the blue light went away n all was well! Thank you very much for this vid!!!
Great video, cycling the key 5 times for a santa fe did the job of taking it off valet mode. 2nd time that this video has saved me. Now I have a command start again.
Thanks so much it has been -20/-30 and my car broke down took it to the shop and no auto start stopped working I thought it completely broke you’re a lifesaver
Man. Can't thank you enough. I had a continuous blue light coming from remote starter, couldn't figure it out. Didn't want to disconnect battery, came across this video, tried button fix first, but it didn't work. But doing on&off thing 5 times worked like a charm. Thank you!
I know this video is 6 years old, but THANK YOU!!!!!! I lost remote start function on my wife’s explorer after entering tpms training mode and nothing worked, until I found your video!!
7 years later and you're still helping people with your video! I changed my battery recently and my aftermarket 3x auto start system went into valet mode. I tried a bunch of stuff (that didnt' work), found your video, did the "5x turn key to start and hit your lock button..." and it worked flawlessly. Thank you!
Thank you for your instructions and my remote starter is working again. Whether is almost -20 with windshield right now and I thank you once again and may god bless you.
Thank you. Pressing the Lock & Trunk button at the same time fixed it. It was one of the 2 things you said would stop it from starting. It's my moth-in-laws car and she didn't use the R S all Summer plus she has lots of keys on her chain so who knows which one caused it. Thanks again, your the Boss.
Awesome worked on my new to me 2016 Ford Edge which the dealer didn't know either. I also checked the manual and ford website. BTW I held in the remote start button then the truck release, this enables and disables. Im curious this isn't more broadly known, cant thank you enough for sharing. Wolf
THANK YOU!!!! After a very annoying 45 minutes of my remote and my wife's remote being unable to shut down the alarm and remote start on our truck leaving us stranded at one of the local "poor man's mall" asked for help and after one search on YT there you were, again thanks a bunch and Godbless from Laredo, Texas.
I heard that going from off to on 5x in a Dodge Ram will clear the CEL. Shortly afterwards, I was baffled why my truck wasn’t remote starting anymore. After watching this, I immediately knew what the problem was, thanks for the help!
Thanks a lot man, I has about to book an appointment for $80 because the guys at the shop told me it was fuse blown I watched your video and did the 5 times on/off thing, worked like a charm, much appreciated
I did the trick of putting the key in onto on and off 5 times and it worked - and I only use the drone mobile app, don’t have a fob- and it worked. Thanks so much!
Thank you for the video, My wife's 2011 Rav4 hasn't had the remote start work for years. I followed the instructions and now it works again. That is with the check engine light on for a O2 sensor. Happy days! thanks again!😊
Some of these newer compustar remotes after you turn the key on and off 5 times you have to tap the lock button once very quickly. This worked for me when I got nothing. Excellent video
OMG !!! DUDE !!! I'VE BEEN ON RU-vid FOR 2 WEEKS TRYING TO FIND OUT HOW TO FIX MY REMOTE STARTER AND CAME ACROSS YOU AS I WHITE THIS @8:51 AM IN ILLINOIS SO I DID THE KEY 5 TIMES AND IT WORKED !!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 YAAAYYYYYY !! THANK YOU ! THANK YOU ! YOU !!!!❤
The installer of the remote closed shop down and after the truck starter quit the auto start just flashed parking lights. I was at my last straw when I came on to your video . Great jobThank you
That's the problem I'm having but my check engine light came on and it won't work. This happen after I got an oil change and I think they put the wrong oil in my car
I think that applies more so with factory installed systems. My daughter la equinox would not remote start when she had a check engine light. But I don’t think aftermarket systems apply that same logic.
oh man, tyat exactly describes my problem! took the car to get worked on and remote start wouldn't work anymore, but I knew the combo unit was still present because the lock and alarm still worked. looking forward to handling this tomorrow! :-D
Thank you! this fixed my problem. i was getting frustrated the other day i had accidentally left the vehicle in reverse and was trying to start it and i turned it on and off like 10 times before i realized it wasn't in park haha ! It happens! so i put it in valet mode on accident without even knowing it!
Thankyou so much..You just saved me a lot of $..without your video I would've ended up at the shop getting charged to get my remote start out of valet mode..😊 I've liked & subscribed to your channel as a Thankyou..👍
Thank you😁 I just did my Jeep I had to unhook the battery on some prior work and apparently it must have knock the remote start off it's working again. Thank you 😊
Valet mode - caused my concern. Thank you fella!! You saved me time, money and cold winter starts. You rock my good man!! Ummm wtf is valet mode good for? Thank you again!!!
Thank you so much My starter remote was broken I needed to solder on a new switch for one of the buttons but then after that it was just locking and unlocking this brought it back to life!
It worked for me. Got into valet mode some how. Went to the dealership where I bought the truck and they made me an appointment three days out. WHY didn't they ask me if it was in valet mode ??????? because MONEY. Thank you very much
THANK YOU. Just replaced my battery and it wouldn’t work. Pressing lock and trunk put it back in the right mode!! Need it for out here in the Midwest (Wisconsin)
No car here, sorry.. i was just curious on how to solve this problem coz, currently im working in a gas station and, this is the common problem for automatic cars, we have protocols on turning them off before fueling, so sometimes this issues happens inevitable.. Im looking forward on doing this in-hand, but im not wishing that it would happen intentionally coz customers don't like waiting, they have their own life.. Thanks for sharing this, it's really helpful
Awesome!! I was really close to taking my f250 2016 to a mechanic. It was really getting frustrating. I did what you said and check engine light went off and remote start is working
A check engine light can disable a remote starter as well, so if the check engine light comes back, and remote start stops working that could be the cause as well.
