The remote start stopped working on my car. The remotes are fine, When I try to remote start it, I here the car click but no start. horn trips and the lights comes on. but still with no start. .The remote start feature is on in the DIC settings. both fobs works fine for lock trunk and all other accept the Remote start any ideas guys.
 


maybe you let it sit and used the remote start twice in succesion but didn't drive the car. usually when u start it up twice and don't go anywhere it stops remote starting until u actually get in the car and turn the key to start it then it can be used again. but im pretty sure thats not the problem. just gotta give the most obvious answer.
 
mine did that occasionally too, but once i had the reciever replaced it seemed to fix the problem. how's your range?

Probably a malfunction or issue with the anti-theft device. Good luck unless you are under warranty. Welcome to Genital Motors if you haven't already been welcomed! LOL! I love getting into a Cobalt with the KEY and it starts blowing the horn until you insert a properly programmed key.

see my above statement. could be an indicater that it's not quite recieving the full signal.
 




bringing back a bit of an old thread, I'm having the same issue on my 07 GP. Just started (or lack of starting,,,,) last friday. Remote has good range I can lock/unlock and start from about 100 yards away. Didn't work when I got off of work on friday, same symptoms. Horn sounds, hear a click, hear the fuel pump kick in but no start. check engine light came on at the same time, had the code checked - P0411 - Secondary Air Injection system fault.
Not sure if this would cause the issue with the remote start or not. I have not had a chance to start checking fuses/relays/ AIR system yet but plan on it this week.

BTW,

if they have been dropped a lot you will have a problem too. take it apart and see if the 3 connectors are still sodered.

Your no remote start is directly related to your check engine light. my 06 GT did the same thing when the Check engine light came on for the boost bypass valve. replaced the part remote start works fine. It is a safety feature.

Another common problem... see my thread in the How-To section. sorry i never saw your post asking about price... my car is under warranty so it was free.
 


My car is now having the same issue. I go to activate the remote start and the horn sounds but no start. Any suggestions before I go to the dwaler?
 
Well as long as you checked what the two guys said up there ^ Check the soldered connections in the fob, and make sure there are no codes
 
Has anyone found resolution to this? My 07 GXP started doing this today. No CEL. If I push and hold the remote start and lock button at the same time it will start. Doing it the proper way sets off the alarm.
