I would undo the forscan change you made and see if it works. If that is all you changed and it quit working after that, there may be a tie!

It is.

If you disconnect your battery, the only thing you will lose, maybe is your radio and clock presets. Some of the newer radios, i have noticed, that the radio presets stay.
That will be the next thing I try.

Tried this , no luck!

I'll try disconnecting the battery after supper and see what that does. I did also notice today that the sound it makes when backing up and getting close to something has changed. It's kind of screechy now compared to what it used to be. If removing the battery cable doesn't fix it I'll have them check it this week when I take it in for service to fix the heated seat. Thanks for your help.

Tried disconnecting the battery and left it sit about 15 minutes then tried to remote start. No luck! The remote flashes red three times but that's it. I wonder if it could be a bad module? I'll find out Tuesday and report back. Thanks for everyone's suggestions. I appreciate your taking the time to reply!

Since you are not seeing the option under settings, my guess is that one of the settings that you changed turned it off, OR setup a DTC condition that prevents Remote start, or a combination.

I would go back and undo the Forscan setting that you changed, revert back to as built and try the Remote start again.

Problem ended up being a USB cable that I had run to be able to put phone in a different spot. Unplugged cable from USB port and everything to do with remote start worked like a charm. Gave my guy at the dealership a nice tip. It's great to have a great dealer and technicians that know their stuff! I'm going to remove the cable tomorrow to see if it might have got pinched or cut when I installed it.
