When attempting to start 2017 Caravan remotely receive the message "Remote Start Disabled - Start Vehicle To Reset" message but still will not work. Seems to only be working sometimes from inside the car.

Sounds like I'm being blown off...

Is that the best answer I'm going to get?

 

r u doing this?....remote start...idle ten minutes....remote start...idle ten more minutes...remote start get message

the vehicle will only allow 2 remote starts in a row without a manual start. After that you must go out and start the car....and then it will reset. Its purpose is to prevent excess idling.

this is detailed in the owner manual.

if that is not the problem...you have a fault that needs to be fixed. check for codes and post them here. any dtc will disable the remote start.

 

No. I have tried from cold, I have tried after manually starting, but it only seems to remote start from inside the car, and yes, I have been having electrical issues with the vehicle (see other thread) which have been intermittently keeping the traction light on after startup. Thank you.

 

If there are any warning lights, remote start will be disabled. Give Dodgecares a break. They do what they can do.
