HI,

Basic info:
04 F150 Screw 5.4, Code Alarm CA530- remote starter system i installed it myself. no problem for months!!


Now, my truck wont start the motor when press button remote but when i put key in igt. to turn the key on and it starts up fine.. .

Whats the possibly problem ?

Thanks!
YOMAN!

 

Is the theft light flashing real fast on the dash?

Did you solider all connections?

were you the guy that had problems this winter with your bypass?.....you bought it from Travis?

 

I had this problem a while back and noticed one of my fuses blew. check the fuse box and make sure none of your fuese are blown.

 

Yes thats me...but theft light isnt flashing fast..just normal...odd right? didnt use solider i just follwed travis instrcution.

In past winter, i cant turn key on to start the motor but this time i can..

I could feel when pressed button by reote to try start themotor it clank once. but all dashboard and park lit on fine.

Thanks

 

Wheres the fuse ?




When i tried to press button remote to start themotor i could feel its like clank once. it seems like try to start the motor...but all lights on by dashboard and park light too

 

 

Strange....I tested the key (2nd spare key) and it WORKED!! the motor started up by pressed button remote.

My 1st key isnt work when press button to start the motor but key in igtion it starts..

I guess it need re programing the key?

Thanks!
Jake

 

Sounds like your by pass module might be a little finicky? If I am reading this right. The fuses are an the code's brain there is a little panel you pull off to expose them. At least thats the way it is with my srt9000. I would try reprograming the by pass moduel. Does it work if you leave a key in the ignition and then try to remote start it?

 

You havnt had your PCM in your truck replaced recently have you?

 

Your using a actual bypass right?...not a key in the column.

When you put your new bypass it you programmed it with both keys right?

When you try to start the truck you are using the same remote every time?

If you have two good keys try reprogramming them.....but your keys should have nothing to do with the bypass starting the truck once it has been programmed after the first time.



Also are you using tach mode?
If yes, it could be a tach issues as it is trying to crank but not firing. (same problem I had)



BTW: This is why I tore my ca530 out and returned it to Travis after it would take five cranking attempts to start the truck and most of the times it would not start at all when it was cold out, but then if it was warm it would not say running longer for five seconds!! I got a ultra starter with "tach smart mode" and have not had one problem with it, also you get a blue LED on the antena in the window

 

yeah i got the most recenlty updated bypass kit from Travis.

I thought i did...So i re programed the keys and it s back to normal..

Sorry you had problem with CA530..

I have no problem in hot and cold weather to start the motor by remote...

Thanks!

 

What is this tach mode? mine wont start in the winter if the temp get to 20 deg. or lower. Ford factory remote but installed after I bought the truck.
