Mine did that to me a few times when it was new. Make sure that all the doors and hood is closed. Check to see that the hood switch is not bent, I have read that is sometimes the problem.

Mine has done that a few times. I thought it was the battery getting low and causing the remote to foul up the signal.

Mine would try to start and then cut off then the remote would not work at all for a few mins, even for locks. Changing the batt seem to fix it.

If the security system is set off it will honk twice and not start (I think)

Its a common issue with these. They are hit or miss, with a range of 100' maybe less. Very frustrating.

Had this happen to me. I used my spare, turned on my truck, turned it off then tried again with my spare. Started up without horn.
