My 04 F150 the factory remote start won't work.
It beeps twice and doesn't start. The led is constantly flashing. Blinks twice and then a pause
I read somewhere that if it beeps twice and doesn't work it is the hood switch.
I don't want to buy a new switch. Can I just bypass it?
The weather has warmed up so I guess I can take a test light to it now and find out what is going on.

 

Ok so it isn't the hood switch. I checked it out with the multi meter.
It opens and closes the circuit just fine.
Any other Ideas?

 

Does anybody know where to get the wiring diagram for the remote start?

 

There's no such thing as a factory remote start. Ford might have installed it brand new, but it is a aftermarket of some kind. You would need to figure out the brand to get a wiring diagram.

 

Do you have the one button remote (bronze) or the 6 button remote (gold) alarm remote? 2 chirps could be the brake sensor is not working, make sure your brake switch is not stuck on.

Here are some links: http://machenry.com/documents/Gen21B...eGuide_000.pdf http://www.fordservicecontent.com/fo...structions.pdf http://machenry.com/documents/Instal...09_04_2009.pdf page 86 this is the one I used for my 07 install


Theses are a few that I found.... Search google "f150 ford gold remote start filetype: PDF" or "f150 ford bronze remote start filetype: PDF" and you might find more... With no space between filetype: and PDF

 

I have a 4 button remote?

 

How do you start it then? What combination of buttons.... If you are using the factory 4 button remote and you lock unlock lock or something like that, it's an add on and truly not a ford branded remote starter i would guess.

 

Looks like a gold one. I pulled it out to check the fuses.

 

i noticed that same module under my dash not too long ago. when i bought the truck used from the dealer the only key and fob the gave me was a lock/unlock one. Would i have to get a new gob to get the remote start to work?

 

good question. And how to program it if necessary.
