remote starter short crank
I have a 99 explorer that has a dealer installed remote starter. We were
led to belive it was a ford remote starter system when we bought
it, but of course that was not true. It is a code alarm system.
It has lock and unlock with remote start and panic. The problem I
have is that when you push the button to start, it cranks real short
time and does not start.
Anybody have any insight?
I would have to return to that dealership to have it repaired by them,
and we have not had a wonderful relationship with the service
dept.
Thanks-

What model number is it? Here's their website, and they have manuals.

Fords' original dealer installed Remote Start system was a Code system. It could be defective relay, defective module, wiring issue, or a sense wire connection IE tach signal loss. I would first look at the brake lamp circuit. If you have a bad brake lamp switch or wiring to it, it could give a false brake input from the simple vibration of the vehicle during crank mode. Of course if it gets a brake input signal it will shut down the remote start system.
