Disconnect one of the battery cables from its terminal for five minutes. Reconnect the cable to the post and it should be reset and your car should start. Be sure to tighten the clamp on the cable. It is very important to have a secure cable attachment to the battery post.

When trying to start with fob, starter turns but vehicle will not start. using rss-5225 AstroStart any advice to get it to start with fob?

If the starter turns but the vehicle won't start when using an AstroStart RSS-5225, it's likely a vehicle-specific issue. Check for any issues with the vehicle's ignition, fuel, or electrical system. Consult a professional mechanic for a thorough diagnosis and repair.
