There is an electrical problem between the starter switch and the starter solenoid. The most likely cause is a loose connection at the solenoid or the fusable link has melted.
remote starter?? No remote starter car is 1993 Chevy blazer (truck)
wrong key when using the remote starter the starter does't crank long enough to start the car. Starting the car with the key the car starts five. Could use some help.
Yes, any car alarm equipped with "starter kill" or "starter disable" will make it impossible to start your vehicle until the system is disarmed with your remote or the vehicle key.
The remote key uses a radio signal to start the car. This means something else can be on that frequency and causing it to start. Could be something in the system itself.
the only way to start a car when the remote key is dead is to start it by putting the key into the ignition.
Have someone use your key and start it or install an aftermarket remote starter.
Perhaps a bad chip or reader if so equipped
If it has a resistor in key perhaps installation of remote changed the resistance value in same Your remote is probably installed wrong .
If the lights on the dash all light up but does not crank, this is probably the immobilizer system killing the starter. This is only with cars with a chip in the key and when they put the remote starter in they used a 556u peice and probably took one of your chip keys and installed it in the car. When they wrapped the windings around your key cylinder to "trick the car to thinking the key is being used" they may not have secured it properly. If this car doesn't have a chip key then I'd check to make sure the starter wire (Starter side) is hooked up. On directed electronics products its usually a thick purple wire
you might try to move your steering wheel at the same time you are turning the key in the ingition. The lock mechanism might be in a bind.
What happened with me was, my car had a Remote Start system installed. It did not give any problem for several months. But, one day, when I tried to start the car manually using a key, the lights on the dashboard would come and go away in 2 seconds and any attempt to start the car by key would have no effect on car: no lights on dashboard, no engine sound, no clicking sound from Engine Starter. It would not start with Remote Start. Also, all the electrical system in the car would stop working. Workshop guy told me that the remote start circuit was wrongly installed and also remote start unit had some issues. I got the whole Remote Start system removed and things are fine since then.
the car has a remote starter so you don't have to get into an ice cold car, and you've discovered another way to engage it. When all else fails RTFM.
