New problem. This morning lights flash once, no start,but the keyless entry working. I get in and do the
safety sequence over and still no start. Why is the keyless entry working, but not the remote start? Before
after sitting overnight nothing would work. One confirmation flash and that was it. Nothing after that,
keyless entry, start, nothing like the battery was dead.
Now the keyless entry is working after overnight sit.
What is happening?
Thanks

This could be a number of issues, to help clearify the issue plese answer a couple of questions.

1) What is the make/model # of the remote starter.

2)Did it work previously and if so how long has it been installed?

Good News. They had a module hooked to the altenator for
tach input and the remote unit was sensing that the alternator was turning when it wasnt. This caused all kinds of weird readings and the unit not to work proper.
They got the car back and will fix tomorrow.
Thanks anyhow
