Remote Start Not Working
The factory remote start is not working on my 2009 F 250. The red light is lit when I push the button, the doors lock and you can hear something engage in the engine but it does not crank it. If I keep holding the button the alarm starts to go off. When I walk up to truck the radio is on and I need to hit the remote start button to shut everything down before manually staring. Any ideas? tks

I'd change the battery in the remote first, just because it might end up being a simple fix. Even though you're getting something now, it may not be enough.
Also make sure your hood is shut tight; just open it and slam it shut.

In thinking about this, the dealer had to replace my body control module in September last year. I never use my remote start and probably have not in a year but tried it over the weekend which is when I discovered it would turn on the inside radio and attempt to start but does not. Could the dealer have forgotten to program it back? Does it even need reprogrammed after replacing a BCM? tks
