Remote start issues
 

I have a 2004 ram 1500 SLT (5.7 hemi) it has the mopar remote start on it and i worked good for about a year than it went all crazy and now it only cherps three time every time i try to use it. the box under my dash has a flashing red light on it. Anyone know how to fix this or what i need to do??? any help will be thankful.

I think there is a reset button on the box under your dash.

Do you have an alarm /w remote start? Is the alarm working ok?

i had the same problem with the remote start on my dak. i got the factory alarm/remote start and one day out the blue i got thr horn souhd but no start. i started cheking all doors and found out that the hood pin was the problem. i called the dealer and they want $60.00 for the pin. i fix it putting a rubber thingy on top of the pin so that it will get more pressure down from the hood and problem fixed. the pin is not height adjustable. open the hood, press the pin down with your finger and turn it on with the remote start to see if it works.. good luck.....

@ kay9.. Its the factory dodge alarm yeah it still locks and unlocks fine.
@ dakota raven not sure if it has a push pin under my hood think its a mercury switch with two wires running out of it, mounted on the top of my hood on the inside. Thanks for the info i've been looking every where for how to fix this. looks like i need to start a new post anyone know where i can get a new under the hood remote start switch or sensor?

Anyone know where i could find a new under the hood remote start switch. The one i have know i think has gone bad and was needing to replace it with a new one like it or some other kind. Any ideas on a new kind and how to install it will be appreciated!!

Do you mean a removable remote starter switch? Like something you hook to turn your starter over to use to check timing and such? I know I got mine at sears a few years ago. It was the same thing just had a differnt pistol style trigger. Like this? http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_1...&blockType=G12

I think he is talking about a hood pin switch. In order the the RS to work the hood must be closed. Do a search on ebay for "alarm hood pin" and you will find what you need. They are a universal pin switch.

double check on the "universal" side because i took out the ohe on my dak and if it is a factory remote start they have electronic components inside. it cost $60.00 at the dealer. try to push it down with your finger and then use the remote start to see if it works. if it works doing that you can get away putting a rubber cap or something on top of the pin to give it more pressure from the hood when it's closed. that's how i fixed my remote start. good luck.....

All the switch does is break contact. if you just cut the switch wires, you will essentially bypass it. I didn't even install the one on my truck. it was more of a hassle than it would have been worth.
