Sounds like it has nothing to do with the remote starter. J Rilla

Do you have powers on the Ignitions when you turn the Key on? If you don't have power turning the Ignition switch over than you might have battery problem. Check the battery with a Meter and see if the batter shows 12.5 volts than is good. If the battery shows less than 12 volts or more than 12.7 volts than your battery has problems. You will need to replace the battery. It has a bad cell and doesn't hold any charge. Can you arm and disarm the alarm system? Can you turn on the head light? If you can arm and disarm the alarm system or head light turns on than you might have alarm and starter problem. Good luck

Does your radio or anything on the ignition circuit power up with the key?Certified Security Specialist

Always check info with a digital multimeter.

Tell Darwin I sent you.

I've been sick lately, sorry I won't be on much.

Hey thanks for the input quickly i might add  the normal stuff comes on radio etc  has full juice what if the ignition switch just happen to call it quits? What do u think?shinobi

If it was just the switch, then the remote starter should still work. Does it try to turn over?J Rilla

a couple of questions: 1) Can you still remote start the vehicle? ie. does the Starter Motor crank? 2) If so, and you're not able to start the vehicle with your key, check your Starter Kill Relay. It's possible that the crimp/connection from key side of the Starter wire to the relay has failed or disconnected. let us know the exact diagnosis... netZ

Check the fuses on the car, on the rs, and I would also check the connection of the starter kill. Something may have shorted out and blown a fuse going to the starter or on the rs harness. If you can pull the dash and take a meter or a test light and test the starter wire and see if it has voltage when you crank.Certified Security Specialist
