    Posted: 10 Mar 2025 at 4:15pm
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

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..
---------------------

To remotely start your 2015 F-150, press the lock button on your key fob, then press the remote start button (the button with the 2x icon) twice within 3 seconds
The vehicle will start, and the exterior lamps will flash twice. 
Here's a more detailed explanation:
  • Press the Lock Button: First, press the lock button on your key fob to lock all the doors. 
  • Press the Remote Start Button Twice: Immediately after locking the doors, press the remote start button (the one with the 2x icon and a rotating arrow) twice, within a 3-second timeframe. 
  • Visual Confirmation: You should see the exterior lamps flash twice, indicating that the remote start command has been received and the vehicle is starting.
  • Horn Indication: If the system fails to start, the horn will sound unless Quiet Start is enabled. 
  • Vehicle Operation: The vehicle will run for a pre-set time (5, 10, or 15 minutes, depending on the setting).

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.....

   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"

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.

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.

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.

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.

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..

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.
Thanks!

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.
