Remote Starter

I purchased a 2004 Ranger. After a while noticed it has a Ford remote starter installed. I didn't get the fob and can't get it. Is there anyway to tell if the remote starter is working before trying to buy a new fob

Talk with a dealer that sells and installs the units. He/she will be able to ID the unit and may be able to help with a fob.

I doubt that you have remote start, you might have remote entry. The dealer should be able to get a replaacment FOB.

The owner's manual has the proper use and operation of your new truck if you have any questions about it.

It is a remote start mounted under driver side dash. Just don't want to buy a fob if the remote start unit doesn't work
