There are usually several safety sensors that could cause the problem you describe. One is a switch that won't let it start remotely if the hood is open. These have a habit of failing. Another potential problem could be the wire that tells the remote the engine is running and to quit cranking. On some models on gassers this is just a wire that wraps around a spark plug wire, easy to come off.

You need to go to the Security Sense area of that site and start a new topic. Your best bet is to get an answer from IAmMurph. He's the man. You can go directly to the Security Sense area HERE.

Also, you need to give us more information, like if it's an alarm/remote start unit or if it's just a remote start unit. Also, the brand and model (if known) of the remote start unit would be helpful. These are things you should say (again, if you know them) when you post on SD. Those guys will really help you out. IAmMurph walked me through installing a $500 alarm/remote start on my Ram.
