Awesome - thank you. Car Keys Express was here for over an hour... reprogrammed 4 keys, still didn't work. After he left, I went through the settings (2015 Ford Fusion Titanium) - slightly different than yours, but found it and BOOM... started. Thank you, again!
Thank you so much! I just bought a used Escape and had it serviced to remove the check engine light, but resetting the remote start settings got it working again. 🙏
Thank you! Is giving that up for not working on my new used escape. Just had to know the order of the keys and uncheck then check that box and it works!
That is exactly what my Ford Taurus does but I don’t have all of the same options. Ugh 5 months of trying to figure it out and I’m so close but still so far
I never check first my fuse yet, when i do remote start only happen is horn and when i read my manual book saying. Remote start fail if the horn activated. Do think fuse but is so hard to recognize what fuse 🤔 thanks
Hey Eli! Everything was working fine until I got my battery checked at Sears Auto and then after that my remote start works but then shuts off after 15 seconds. Any ideas? It's a 2013 Ford escape titanium
It’s part of the battery Managment system coming off of the negative battery terminal. When I had my battery replaced they nicked the wire and there must of been a microscopic voltage drop. So I had to order a new neg battery cable which also has the Bms module attached to it through Ford. Has to be soddered on which you know Ford will charge an arm and a leg. But it was winter and I was so frustrated so I had Ford do it. Cost me $400 but to have my remote start restored was so worth it. Fixed the problem!!
Hey Eli.. Great video!. My key fob doesnt work (none of the buttons), but the PUSH BUTTON START works and if I leave the car with the key it recognizes that the key is away from the vehicle. I replaced the battery and the key fob shell but still no luck. Any ideas?
@@cindygarcia284 As long as there is a check engine light, your remote start won't work. You need to first fix the problem. You can disconnect your battery negative first a minute or so and then reconnect. That should clear your check engine light.
so i know this is an older video maybe some one can help. i have a 2014 ford escape and my remote start starts and shuts off after6 seconds. there is a i i think for info? that blinks red on my dash board but no check engine lights. i factory reset after a battery change and it still won't work. any ideas?
@@EliTheOBDTech yes the check engine light is on, I can't reset it on my own, last time I had a mechanic reset it with their Diagnostic system check tool.
@@EliTheOBDTech the issue that prompted my question is that we can't get another key programmed. the car won't go into programming mode. I thought perhaps a reset might allow that?
@@EliTheOBDTech she had taken it to a True Value store and he used his programming device, but it wouldn't work. I hate to think about how much a dealer would charge? the True Value charged her $150+ tax for the key, but nothing for the programming because they couldn't get it to work. I had bought extra key blanks for my hubby's truck a few years ago for under $15 and programmed it myself. worked just fine. I'm thinking her system needs a reset so I suggested she take it to an Autozone or someplace similar and have them read the codes. perhaps that might show something? does your friend know what the dealer did?
The remote start on my car tries to work but the engine sputters real bad and acts like it isn't getting fuel/spark. It sputters for a minute or so and stalls out, doesn't restart. Otherwise it runs fine, but can't use remote start.
@@mymusicaccount1456 Do you have access to an enhanced scanner that can scan all the modules in your car? You may have some soft codes that don't trigger a check engine light.
@@EliTheOBDTech I have a "mid level" scanner that is better than the 10 dollar model but not as good as a pro scanner. I'll do a full diagnostic and clear when i get a chance, see if that makes any difference.

30 minutes of wasted time reading threads on this topic could have been saved if I just came here first. Thank you!
Thank you!!! I spent an hour checking fuses 😂 when all I needed was a reset.
Eli I used your tutorial and it did indeed fix my remote start just by factory resetting it.
Thanks brother.
Thank you so much! I just bought a used Escape and had it serviced to remove the check engine light, but resetting the remote start settings got it working again. 🙏
Lord Knows I Thank you so much May God Bless you More and More with Great Ideas

I'm glad to see that this video helped.
You’re awesome. It was the check engine light for me.
Matthew Bragg same here!
Same!😂 i was like why tf is it not cooperating!
So when the check engine light is on, what’s the option to program the key?
I’ve been to two different locksmiths who program keys with no luck ☹️

Great help thanks, my MKX 2011 got fixed by restoring to factory default.
How did you restore to factory default?
Michael Jubran Go to settings on your left screen then vehicle settings then factory reset. Hope this helps.
Roberto Gómez thank you.
Awesome thank you so much!!
just fixed mine thanks to you . THANK YOU
I was sitting here thinking it was broke, all I needed to do is to read the manual. I was only pressing the start not the lock first.
You are the man !!! Thanks 😊
Thank you so much.....
Thank you so much. It worked
You're welcome!
Great video! Thanks dude!
You're welcome!!
Thank you so much for your help.
Confirmed my thoughts the CEL was the issue.
That is exactly what my Ford Taurus does but I don’t have all of the same options. Ugh 5 months of trying to figure it out and I’m so close but still so far
Is your check engine light on?
No!! And it’s been checked for hidden codes. But it literally does the exact same thing.
5. Low starter battery will also cause it.
Our ford escapes auto start stopped working and when we go to the settings the option isn't there.
Do you have any idea why this would be the case
I never check first my fuse yet, when i do remote start only happen is horn and when i read my manual book saying. Remote start fail if the horn activated. Do think fuse but is so hard to recognize what fuse 🤔 thanks
Does that work with the 2013 Ford Explorer to thank you so much good to know
I'm not 100% sure, but think it does.
Hey Eli! Everything was working fine until I got my battery checked at Sears Auto and then after that my remote start works but then shuts off after 15 seconds. Any ideas? It's a 2013 Ford escape titanium
Did you try doing a factory reset?
My 2017 dies after 15 seconds. Dealer can't find the problem.
Same issue with my 2014 Ford Focus. It will remote start for about 10 seconds then just shuts off. I’ve tried everything.

You either have faulty key fob circuit board or you might need to reprogram the key fob
@@EliTheOBDTech thank you.... Im getting a 2nd key when I get that programmed that may tell me what the issue is.
How do you reprogram the key fob ?
@@imenekolli4165 I will look into it, what year make and model?
If a check engine light is on it remote start wont work?
@@starscreamxb805 Yes, that is correct. The remote start gets disabled.
My engine light is on I did as you did in the video my remote start still does not work… the system is checked and I did the restore default???
Did you also clear the check engine code?
@@EliTheOBDTech no how do I do that ?
@@cindygarcia284 As long as there is a check engine light, your remote start won't work. You need to first fix the problem. You can disconnect your battery negative first a minute or so and then reconnect. That should clear your check engine light.
Anyone knows how to turn off the check engine light
ELI D BEST
So after I fixed my remote start there was a red information icon blinking. I saw on yours dash it was yellow. What the red icon mean
Can you share the image by sending it to my email address
Eguillen.tech@hotmail.com
I have check engine light so I'm gonna have to take it in
Do you the reason why my engine turns off after few seconds i remote start it
Do you have a check engine light?
@@EliTheOBDTech i don't have check engine light.
just work for one time after I reset the settings after that It still the same.
Do you have any DTCs stored in your pcm?
so i know this is an older video maybe some one can help. i have a 2014 ford escape and my remote start starts and shuts off after6 seconds. there is a i i think for info? that blinks red on my dash board but no check engine lights. i factory reset after a battery change and it still won't work. any ideas?
Hi Jennifer, can you take a picture of the red light blinking and send it to my email?

I got no check engine light on, on my chevy malibu 2011 and my key fob battery is new idk what else to look for?
You may need to reprogram the key fob
I need this on a ford mustang 2016
Does your mustang have a check engine light on?
Are the batteries on the key fob in good condition?
This happens to my escape every 1-2 months 😢🤷♂️
Are you having check engine light issues? If not, you may have a module or some CAN Bus network issues.
@@EliTheOBDTech yes the check engine light is on, I can't reset it on my own, last time I had a mechanic reset it with their Diagnostic system check tool.
@@neilarnold9662 Ok, as long as the computer registers a check engine light, your remote start will not function properly.
Does this work on a 2019 mustang gt?
Not sure, but you can try.
how do you do a factory reset?
It's under convenience and select option restore default.
@@EliTheOBDTech the issue that prompted my question is that we can't get another key programmed. the car won't go into programming mode. I thought perhaps a reset might allow that?
@@ssergeant9682oh ok, in that case, the only way is dealership, locksmith or professional key programming scan tool.
One of my buddies had the same problem, he eventually took it to ford dealership.
@@EliTheOBDTech she had taken it to a True Value store and he used his programming device, but it wouldn't work.
