Has your remote start stopped working?

Press the button, it turns over once and that's it. Not a click. I can get in the car, start the car just fine. Is there anything I should look for (fuses, etc) before I take it to the dealer?

Change the battery on the remote?

Plus 1 on the battery. If there is no change, to the dealer.

Both remotes? Cause it doesn't matter which remote I use. The car is 4 months old and only has 4k miles. Seems short lived for batteries, but I'll do so.

Thanks!

Probably take it into the dealer. I don't have remote start on mine, but I had an aftermarket one on a previous car. When it didn't turn over, the rev/rpm sensing had to be adjusted.

You might be able to find try to do the tach learning procedure yourself (I found one for older fords by doing a quick search for "ford remote start tach learning").

You can also quickly verify that remote start is set to "enabled" on the information display - just in case it weirdly reset/disabled itself for whatever reason.
