Cam416905 Posted August 1, 2016 Report Share Posted August 1, 2016 When I try to remote start my 2008 Ford Edge, the lights and horn beeps like they should be the car doesn't start. It will beep three times as it fails to start. My car has a factory remote starter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma-2 Posted August 1, 2016 Report Share Posted August 1, 2016 One of the doors is open (or more likely, the door switch is sticking, making the car "think" the door is open). Safety feature, car won't start if it thinks the car is not locked This is a known problem, the fix has been discussed widely here in the forums. Involves spraying electrical contact cleaner onto the plastic arm to clear out the crap causing it to stick. Some reported it works, some couldn't get it to work. There are also YouTube videos showing how to fix. 1-Chirp: start signal received. 2-Chirps: Brake is being pressed or the hood is open. 3-Chirps: One of the vehicles doors are open. 4-Chirps: Tachometer not programmed - see dealer. 5-Chirps: The key is in the ignition. 6-Chirps: The Remote Start System is in "SERVICE/VALET" mode.
