Remote Start Bug, please help

[jeeper5usa]

Thanks Scott. Yes I have tried that but it still doesn't turn over. I don't understand because if I try to start it with the key it starts right up. It does start by remote start every once and awhile, but those times are few and far between so much that I gave up trying to use it as hearing the starter going for 10 minutes doesn't make me happy. I am lost and just about given up hope and resigned to the fact that I have to get another one installed by a different place. If anyone has any other suggestions I would appreciate it. I don't understand why they make these so unfriendly to install by a DIYer. Finding install directions is next to impossible. I will be dropping in a different shop soon I guess, winter is not yet over and although I spent the money, I'm not enjoying the benefits of my remote start.

try it again with the key right near the outside of the ignition switch (just hold it there while you hit the remote starter button).

If it cranks but doesn't start the key bypass is definitely the culprit. Do you know which one they used?

Also, it may be worth getting under the dash to find the bypass module (and disconnecting it while testing). If it has an issue and is sending a bum code that may be fouling the key that you hold by the ignition from being read properly. Also, you can go through the procedure for the module to make it relearn the key and see if that helps.
