Car starter not working

Own a 2005 Hyundai Santa Fe and it has a Valet remote starter/alarm installed. Starter recently stopped working... alarm and lock/unlock still work fine. The lights flash when using alarm but not when trying to start car?

    DOORS WON'T LOCK OR UNLOCK WITH EITHER REMOTE. THE ALARM SYSTEM ACTIVATES AND DEACTIVATES. THE REMOTE START ALSO WORKS

    No valet button, no remote, how can I turn alarm off?

  • Anonymous Mar 28, 2014

    There is no beep when locking or unlocking the doors. Car starts on its own at odd hours.

Look under the dash for a small silver toggle switch....this is a disable switch for the remote start portion of the system..you may have kicked it / bumped it with your foot, causing the remote start portion to be deactivated. Just flip the switch the opposite way and try again..
Also, there may have been a pin style switch installed under the hood...Check to see if it is bent or broken, if it is, simply disconnect it and insulate the wire that was going to it. 
This wire is used as a safety to keep the vehicle from remote starting while the hood is up..to keep people from being injured if the remote start is activated while the engine is being worked on. 
Have whatever shop installed the system replace your pinswitch if that is the problem.

I have a new prestige APS-57C remote starter installed in a 2009 Hyundai Santa Fe and I have a problem with the factory alarm going off every once and awhile. The majority of the time everything is fine,...

Maybe the installer did not hook up the remote starter unit to disarm the factory security system upon entry or remote-starting. Ask the installer to double check that part of the install as it would cause the factory security to trigger even though you unlocked the vehicle with the remote start unit remote.
