Remote start stopped working, engine cranks

The remote start stopped working on my 05 V10 Ex a couple months ago. When I press the button once it just keeps turning over but doesn't start. I think I read somewhere on this forum about it being some sort of wire that is inside the steering column but I didn't see anything in the tech folder although I could have missed it. If I tape the key near the ignition switch and then use the remote start it works perfectly. Is there a thread on here that describes how to repair this? Thanks.

Sounds like an aftermarket RS unit. If so we would be hard pressed to help without knowing the manufacturer and model number of the RS.

It's a Python 7752P but I thought I read somewhere on the forum that the issue is due to a factory wire (coil?) That is part of the anti theft system that is slipped out of position near the ignition switch preventing the remote from starting the vehicle.
