Default 2011 ford 150 auto start won’t work this year but did last year please help!

UPDATE!!
My 2011 ford 1/2 tons auto start won’t start my truck this year but did last year, I put new batteries in the remotes and still a no go, however the remote will lock, unlock and sound the security horn but not start the truck anyone know why not or had this problem happen to them?
update lol

he horn doesn’t even beep I am getting so frustrated! We have taken the check engine light off and still nothing,
its like it’s in valet mode, the book says 6 reasons as to why it won’t start and the check engine light is not one of them,
could really use lots of help guys thanks

There is a switch under the hood, drivers side. A plunger, really. Make sure it is working properly, wires not rusted, etc.

If your check engine light is on it wont remote start. The horn will beep once.

What do you mean by taken check engine light off? If there is a persistent fault cashing a CEL, the truck probably won’t start even after clearing the codes. If it’s a persistent problem, the code might come right back but not illuminate the CEL.

That's my guess.

OP, what was the check engine light on for? Might want to address that before getting to the remote start!
