Remote Start - Three Blinks of Red Light

[Blusmbl]

X2 on all of the people mentioning remote start won't work with any active DTC's.

Also, I can't remember for certain but I think you can only remote start the vehicle a certain number of times in a row before they require you to get in the truck and use the key once (then remote start would work again). I know it was true on older ones but I'm not sure about our trucks.

May not be applicable for any of these scenarios but my wife had a Nissan and I couldn't get her remote start to work for months. Turned out she lost the other key fob inside the car. RS won't work with the fob inside the vehicle... At least on Nissan's. Haven't tried on the raptor.

Remote start works with a fob in the truck, I do it regularly since I leave my key in the truck but want it warm in the am without going outside.

If the hood is open, remote start will not work. There is a switch in the hood that when the hood is closed properly the switch is pressed down. So open the hood and close it again. Sometimes this will do it.

My remote starts with the key fob and the app. But if I press the lock or unlock button the red light on the key fob doesn’t even blink anymore. But it does blink red three times on the remote start and then turns green and the engine kicks on. But it doesn’t blink unlocking or locking buttons are pressed. When I first got the truck few months ago it did work. Idk why it doesn’t blink but only on tailgate drop or remote start

The light only tells you if the remote start or tailgate actions were successful or unsuccessfull. It shouldn't be illuminating for lock/unlock of doors.

Battery could be low.

Can confirm I've seen red blinking once or twice when the startup IS successful. Might be on the far edge of its working distance is what I surmised.
