You can get the lights to turn on and react to your desire for a remote start but you just hear some clicking and it's done. Any ideas on what to look for here? Car starts fine with key.

Thanks... Gary

This issue may be related to the ignition module and/or wire. This is just a suggestion, it is not meant as a diagnosis. I recommend having the vehicle inspected by a certified technician for an official diagnosis.

Please keep us posted.

Do you have any check engine lights on? I THINK if a service light is on the remote start won't work... don't quote me on that but it seems reasonable...
