Car Won't Start!

[grimmace]

Hi Guys,

another problem for me...battery seems to be good because the headlights and interior lights work fine....the car won't crank at all... i do have an aftermarket alarm with remote start which is probably the culprit but not sure...i tried stepping on the brake, putting it in neutral and putting the alarm in valet...no success at all....i'll try jumping it when i get home from work but i have a feeling that won't work either...any guesses?

I use to have a remote start in my other car....It sounds like it cant be the culprit. I hated the unit that i had. What happens too is that the transponder, That is around the iginition...Is knocked out when the alarm is active ..Can you disarm the alarm?

[grimmace]

yup...the alarm disarms and i was able to put it in valet mode

So its the aftermakert POS remote start/alarm....I'm glad that I don't have one anymore.....Its nice to have when its cold outside and you can start the car from inside...But there are drawbacks to have it....Best to say away from them.....:down:

Does anyone know if the windshield wipers have fuse in case of overload on wipers?

I love my remote starter, and have had no drawbacks with mine. I guess it depends on what model/brand you have, and who also does the install. I could have sworn I saw something in my manual about the wipers having a fuse but not sure.

Thanks for the information. I see your mm has flowmasters. I had flowmasters on my 5.0 . Sounded nice but i would wake up my nieghbors you could hear me from a block away. The floor of the car would vibrate. How does it sound inside mm.

They suck. I regret buying them to be honest with you. They were a waste of $300. On a cold start it sounds bada$$, including inside the car. Outside, it has a bit more of a rumble over the stock mufflers. I'm not even sure how much of my resonated tips are playing in a part of this. I have the non resonated tips waiting to be put on. We will see once they are though. If not, here I come Bassani.
