Hi Guys, I've got a 2015 F150 and the remote start just quit working. I started it at home and it worked. Went to visit my sister and when I was going to leave it wouldn''t work. I pushed the buttons and the lights blinked and the horn sounded. What should I be looking at to fix it? Thanks ------------- "Allis-Express" 19??

Here is the sequence of event in order.. Sometimes if i delay too long between the "push this button, then that button" , or 2019 FLEX does not start......the HORN is not part of the sequence.. Horn is a signal that means NO START.. --------------------- Here's a more detailed explanation:

Check one of the 3 fuse panels for a blown fuse. Hopefully you HAVE the pristine manual in the 'glove' box. They should show where the fuses are and what they power. Hopefullly one is labelled 'remote start'. Since the horn beeps,lights flash is the signal to the 'starter system' that isn't making the trip. The 'control box' should be OK..... ------------- 3 D-14s,A-C forklift, B-112 Kubota BX23S lil' TOOT( The Other Orange Tractor) Never burn your bridges, unless you can walk on water |

Remember - Ted said it was a 2015 F-150 Teds Truck has probably heard all the Tariff News going around. It realizes that when Canada stops shipping that 50% of Canadian Manufactured Truck Parts and that 100% of rolls of Aluminum to Stamp out all that Ford Pick-up Sheet Metal, Ford Manufacturing Trucks will cease. Those few remaining F-150's, one's like Ted's, will become Collector Classics. AND MORE SOONER THAN LATER How does that Classic Song go? Oh Ya "LEAN ON ME" G |

Can attest to this one. 2017 Exploder, fob would Unlock doors or Lock them, would NOT open rear hatch or start car, was battery getting weak.

2015 is 10 years old........... battery change is a GOOD idea, even if not the problem. ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |

Ya I guess you're right Dave, but it just seemed so fitting! LOL Funny nobody asked Ted if he still had the 2nd Remote that he could give it a try. G |

Well guys, I got er fixed!! The batteries in the fob were good and as per Gary, I tried the 2nd fob and that too was no go. So,,,,,,,,,,checking the fuses etal,,,,,,,,, I figured that if the lights flashed and the horn honked, that it wasn't the batteries in the fob or the 12v. Did some checking on Youtube and there was some stuff about the pressure switch under the hood. I went to look for that and there wasn't one!! BUT,,,,,,slamming the hood shut,,,,it WORKED!! Ergo, there has to be a switch there somewhere, but I couldn't find one. At least there is nothing visible.... So,,,,,,,,THANKS guys!! That did it. ------------- "Allis-Express" 19??

switch may be under the hood LATCH at the front.. Look for a harness with a couple wires... You should get an LIGHT/ ALARM if it was not working........... but glad it is fixed ! ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |

Steve If Ted hadn't got the Remote Start working, is that something that your recommended MotoPower OBDII Diagnostics Tool would give a code? I've never used an OBD Diag. Tool before. G |

If the light did not come on... then possibly something else prior to SLAMMING the hood... Yes, leave the hood open and try the remote start.. Also see that you get a LIGHT when you turn the key ON.. ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |

There was no light on the gauges at all. I tried just pushing the start button without the brake being pressed, and no lights. Started and no lights. Opened the hood and it wouldn't start. I shut it like I always did and it wouldn't start. Kind of slammed it shut and it works. It was dark out, so I'll look later in the light to see if I can find the switch.

| Ford is a little freakish as they like to put switches at the latches as well as contact points. |

Some of the GM crap likes to put the switches in the latches so you have to replace the whole thing. ------------- If you choose not to decide you still have made a choice. |

Due to our weather, I haven't been able to check this out. BUT,,,,yesterday I went to the store for groceries and lo and behold the 'check engine light' is on now. Ran the code at Advanced Auto and got a PO131. Says "O2 Sensor Circuit Low Voltage (Bank 1 Sensor 1)" So,,,,,,,,,,should I wait till it is warmer out and no snow on the ground and try to check the voltage at the connection? Just go ahead and change out the O2 Sensor? What are your thoughts? Thanks, Ted Oh yeah, this 2015 has 167,000 on it. I don't know if this has ever been changed. Should I change out both #1s (Bank 1 & 2)?

I get those and a couple others(related) since going to a single cat per side. keep scanner onboard and reset when I'm fed up seeing the 'engine light' on. Since there isn't a 2nd O2 sensor,computer gets 'comfused'..... ------------- 3 D-14s,A-C forklift, B-112 Kubota BX23S lil' TOOT( The Other Orange Tractor) Never burn your bridges, unless you can walk on water |

yes--P0131 is "RELATED " to the O2 sensor.. It is POSSIBLE that a squrrel ate the wire, or the cat converter is plugged/ damaged... but since it is a VOLTAGE related, the sensor is a good bet. ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |
