    From my experience this is the most common remote starter issue, luckily it is an easy fix, and you can do it yourself.

      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?

      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.

    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! 🙏👍

    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!

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!
