I have a Prostart CT 3400 in a 2006 Honda Civic w/ Power locks (manual transmission). Last winter when it was -35 celsius degrees outside I tried to start it. It tried once and then stopped. After that point it would not even try to turn ever nor would the power locks work either. Dead. I checked the fuses and they are all good; changed battery remote. Nothing.

I have read that it is common to have a faulty antenna, does this seem like it may be my problem? It is a 2 way system and when I push any button I do not get a signal on the transmittor. Is there anyway of testing the antenna without having to rip it out?

Any other suggestions

Check and make sure the power supply fuse of the alarm system didn't blow. If it did blow..there may be a wiring problem. Check all your connections including your ground wires and make sure they are good grounds.

Sorry didnt read closely and realized the fuses are fine. But anyhow, make sure it is getting 12 volts.. or try disconnecting the power supply and reset the alarm system
