Darcy433 Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 Wow what a brain twister....When I try the remote start...I get a fail with two beeps....I have read and watched many videos and have tried a few things without success....have taken it in and out of valet mode and service mode successfully and then retried remote start with the same result....have looked under the hood for a switch of some sorts and have only seen what looks like a round silver barreled mercury switch, which is prolly for the under hood light.....no sign of another switch or sensor anywhere.....does anyone have any other suggestions or if you have a 2009 Edge and know where this switch is please post a image for me.....thanks in advance for any thoughts you can share with me.

Abbby Posted January 3, 2018 Report Share Posted January 3, 2018 I have a 2010 MKX and it does they same thing. Works fine in summer and fall but when it gets cold it does the same thing. Fails when I need it!!! I have also tried also possible fixes and nothing has worked. There is another sensor under the hood that I wonder what it does. I know where the hood down sensor is and have bypassed that but no success. Mine does not have any under hood light. Pictures attached.

akirby Posted January 3, 2018 Report Share Posted January 3, 2018 Have you tried replacing the battery? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or perhaps the antenna? I don't know for certain, but perhaps the under hood switch only works with the engine start security system?
