TwittleC Posted August 6, 2021 Report Share Posted August 6, 2021 Just got some warranty work (catalytic converter) and the brake line recall on my 2016 edge. Go to pick it up and the remote start doesn't work ( of course it's nothing they did ? anyway other than the setting in the dash which I can't find under settings. And the hood latch what could be the issue? I beep it 3 times and lights just flash but no start no beep nothing. And no CEL any ideas would help before paying them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted August 6, 2021 Report Share Posted August 6, 2021 They may have disconnected the battery cable during the warranty work. Let it sit for 8 hours and see if it starts working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omar302 Posted August 6, 2021 Report Share Posted August 6, 2021 If @akirby's suggestion doesn't work, try to disconnect the vehicle's battery for about 10 minutes then reconnect it. Also, a low voltage battery would prevent remote start, so that's also a possibility. A long drive should recharge the battery sufficiently. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onyxbfly Posted August 6, 2021 Report Share Posted August 6, 2021 You do not need to fully disconnect the battery. The negative terminal can be a pain to get to. You only need to disconnect the positive lead. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwittleC Posted August 6, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2021 Thankyou guys for the response I don't have any LEDS on my keyfob. And I tried the battery disconnect no go. I will be driving it quite a bit today so maybe if it's the battery it will charge it. I'll keep you informed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwittleC Posted August 7, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2021 So far everything I tried absolutely nothing has worked. Next oil change I'll see if they will diagnose it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmr061 Posted August 8, 2021 Report Share Posted August 8, 2021 You can't find the setting in the cluster to turn it off and on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwittleC Posted August 8, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2021 No I cannot which is driving me insane. I'm not technologically impaired lol but it is 100 percent not in the settings on the cluster only thing remotely close is automatic engine shutoff which I assume means it shuts off after 15 min after remote starting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmr061 Posted August 8, 2021 Report Share Posted August 8, 2021 How are you activating remote start since you don't have the fob with the led? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwittleC Posted August 8, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2021 i bought the car new.it's factory remote start It won't let me upload the picture of the keyfob I'm just hitting lock 3 times I couldn't upload a picture of mine so this is the exact fob I have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmr061 Posted August 8, 2021 Report Share Posted August 8, 2021 That is not factory remote start. Might have been installed by the dealer but hitting the lock button three times def. is not from the factory. You need to find out what system you have first.

TwittleC Posted August 8, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2021 Well that's good to know lol I will have to just have them look at it. I dont have much choice at this point. Just odd that it quit after the work they did. Kinda frustrating after working for about 5 years. Thanks for the input Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
my2k2zx2 Posted October 28, 2021 Report Share Posted October 28, 2021 We have an aftermarket (fortin) remote start that uses the factory fob. We go lock-unlock-lock and the vehile starts up. We did have a CEL come on last year and the remote start would not work until the issue was fixed and the code was cleared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwittleC Posted November 14, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2021 OK figured it out dealer said they wouldn't be able to touch it because it after market. I pulled apart. Under the steering wheel it is a logic tech one and I contacted them it went into valet mode(remote start not the car) because they unhooked the battery for so long. So we were able to get it back to proper mode and it works great! Thanks for all the help guys the fix was to hit the start/stop button 5 times very quickly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
