OEM remote start, turns off when I close the door

[rkneeshaw]

did you check your hood switch yet? if the horn beeps and it doesn't start, it means the truck is telling you "no, remote start isn't available because the hood is open, or its the third time you're trying to start, or check engine light is on"

That might be it. I installed some XL80's and had the hood open again the other day and the thing won't remote start at all since, it just beeps and flashes.

So I bent the bracket on the hood switch up a bit, that should help it make solid contact when the hood is closed.



So far, the couple times I tried it, it remote starts every time!

I was just thinking maybe the underhood switch is out of adjustment and its moving around giving a false open hood signal which would shut it down

You are the man! 100% works ever since I bent that hood switch bracket up to make better contact with the hood when its closed. Great suggestion, thank you!
