A third attempt to remote start won't work until the key is inserted and turned to "on" or after the truck has been started normally using the key. After that the remote will work again for another 2 cycles. However, John has said that his remote will initially start his truck but then it dies after a few seconds. That's not normal. Mine will remote start (using my second key/FOB) if the other key/FOB set is in the truck but not inserted in the ignition. I can also remote start it using the GMC app that's in my smartphone. If I try doing that with the key in the ignition, but in the "off" position, the app on the smartphone comes back with a message saying, "Cannot start, key in ignition". Logic tells me that 4 or 8 could be the only things on that list that could cause shutdown after start. Nope. Something else can cause it. Don't know what yet, but it's probably computer related, or associated with the bad glow plug. Yup. You agree with what I said. You notice how carefully I worded my statement? :-) -- x ----Android NewsGroup Reader---- http://usenet.sinaapp.com/ |
