Why won't my Astro Start Remote work? Just had a steering recall fixed at Ford (they updated the computer) and now it doesn't start? Looks like it will work and then doesn't even attempt to start.

Model: TX508 The exterior lights light up as if it has received the command but it doesn't beep or flash crazy or even attempt to roll over the ignition. Lights go off and nothing happens.

If they updated the computer your remote may need to be reprogrammed.

SOURCE: my 1997 honda accord wont start.....

Hi Matt

Follow the( + ) positive lead from the battery, to the starter, check the connections, if all OK, get someone to turn the ignition key to start, and give the starter a tap, on the selenoid, with a small hammer or a metal socket extension.

Good Luck !

Let me know the outcome !

Also a FixYa rating would be nice !

I have a 2011 Mercury Milan that steers hard and turns. Want to check power steering fluid but can't find location.

I had a 06 Chevy which did not have power steering pump it had a electric motor assist. I know many cars have gone to electric motor assist on the steering. One more thing I had a problem once with my cobalt and it turned out to be an electrical problem. When voltage get low while running car will start saving voltage by turning off unnecessary things to keep the car running. The last day I lost power steering, radio and the next day the battery was dead. I changed the battery and the alternator was good and never had the problem again. I am just suggesting you check battery voltage and alternator output.
Link below will show what Ford power steering assist looks like

2009 Ford explorer will not start keep blowing fuse ignition switch, PATS, we replaced the starter, had it checked and it was bad..it still will not start

Check for a factory recall bulletin for the Ignition Switch....Failure to correct Ignition switch could result in a Fire under the dash on the Steering Column.....Disconnect Negative (-) battery cable when working on this switch.. This Switch is probably attached to the Steering Column With tamperproof screws also requiring Hollow Torx socket to remove.......

2006 HHR LT remote start and power steering not working

I recently saw on the news that some models were being recalled for a faulty ignition switch. (Where the key goes.) It happens for no apparent reason and kills the engine and locks the steering wheel. They said only 1 accident has occurred but imagine it happening at 60 miles per hour. You should call and see if your model is one of the bad ones.

I have a 2000 Ford Taurus. My wife left the radio running with the ignition off for a short while. Now the car won't turn over, won't start, won't jump. There is one click when trying to s

The click you are hearing is most likely the start slenoid making contact, however you should short the large wires @ the solenoid to make certain the starter still doesn't run, if so try tapping the starter with a hammer to shift the comutator a litle and try to start. Even if it now starts the starter will continue to give you problems so the proper fix is change the starter
