Pontiac Repair: Remote car starter, remote car starter, control sensors

Question
I have a 2005 Grand Prix with a factory installed remote starter.  Last time I tried to use it, it didn't work. It clicks, and the lights flash, but the car won't start.  Any ideas whats wrong??

Hi Karen:

It could be a lot of things. if you have a service engine soon light on the remote start will not work and the reason for the light being on are endless. try this sit in the car and try to use the remote start and see if there is any message that appears in the driver information center EG: remote start diables due to theft system or any other message that appears it will give you a clue as to what is going on. for the most part this has been a pretty clean system on these cars maning that we haven't had too man issue with them. we have had a few with intermittant no start conditions where a wire harness has to be routed away from the engines spark plug wires the parak plug wires cause an interferance with one of the engine control sensors and diables the remote start. Just a few things to check but you going to have to take this back to the dealer to get it fixed. good luck :)
