How to get a car starter working after my car was in the shop all torn apart?

They unhooked the battery, and apparently that made my automatic car starter not work any longer. RATS! The place that installed it for me last year is no longer in business, so I'm on my own, I guess.....

first off i would check and see if the hood pin switch is functioning , this is generally the case where the hood pin is not making contact with the hood in a closed position therefore causing a dead ground not allowing remote starter to work.



A good way of testing the hood pin switchis open hood , hold hood pin swith down and try and remote start. If vehicle starst then hood pin switch is out of adjustment.



Next option wold be ensure all fusses are good and all grounds aer attached securely.



if everything checks out then its a simple programming of the remotes is all you need. Its a simple procedure if you have the instructions. Otherwise you may need to research programming instructions for your unit.



good luck

installer



tell you what , insert your key in the ignition, dont start just insert key. With key in ign., hit the remote starter button . If car starts then its the security by pass thats the problem.

unhooking the battery cable will only disable the starter..Once the cable is reconected you should be fine.. have the battery terminals and cable ends cleaned and re-installed..Try this turn your lights on at night and attempt to start the car if the lights dim down to nothing it is probably a battery..If nothing happens no flicker of the headlights nothing then you have a conection problem..P.S. don,t ever take your car back to someone who fixes your car and gives it back to you not running..Thats a bad sign..I could run a shop that way disconnect one wire going to the starter and sadly get away with it..Don,t take it back to the same mechanic take it to there competior with a list of complaints..
do you have the owners manual for the remote starter? That could help A LOT
