Remote starter I have a 2003 Ford Expedition EB 4x4. The remote starter stopped working. When I press the remote, the vehicle lights come on as usual, the dash powers up as usual but then it stops just shy of starting.
I have pretty much the same ... I hit start, the Expedition lights up, the dash powers up, seat moves up into position and then ... "na-na-na" (the noise the 2-way remote makes when the vehicle shuts off) nothing. And on top of that, it won't allow me to turn the key in the ignition! So I can't even drive it! Not sure what to do ...
Apparently the vehicle was in park enough to get the key out, but not enough to get it to turn to start or allow the remote starter to work. Once it had been jiggled around and put ALL the way into the PARK position, all works well again!

Its probably the alternator. It will need to be tested on the vehicle with the engine running and the light illuminated. Measure the battery voltage with the engine running. It should be at least 13.5 volts. If it is lower have the alternator tested at a shop with a charging system tester.
the front rotors are warped ahd either need to be turned or replaced. use quality parts and motorcraft pads. if you use cheap rotors, they stand the chance of either being warped upon install or warping soon after.
My 2003 EB had the same issue, until I took it to my local dealer. There is a TSB that calls for this part to be replaced.You need the following part number:
2L1Z19C828AA
- HOS ASY-A/C VAC
I had the same issue with my remote start on another vehicle, the part that bypasses the code on the key had to be reset. The way we figured it out was everything was normal except the vehicle did not start & the security light flashed rapidly.
