I have a 2012 expy el limited. When I push my remote start the car doesn't start, however lights come on in the dash and I can hear the fuel pump turn on like it wants to start but it does not turn over and it will chirp once or twice I can not remember. I have not seemed to have any luck finding anything on this. I'll add that the remote did work until I purchased 1 key not oem, had them cut and used forscan to program it. I have one original, not 2. Ended up having to delete all keys and then was able to program both. The original and the other aftermarket one. Is this the issue why my remote start doesn't work? I use the aftermarket key and that works just like the original. I am just curious if this is 2 separate things or if one thing lead to another. Sorry I got long winded there but thanks for reading.

I searched the forum and have found some threads that may help you out.

Thanks for the help but none seem to work. I should've edted my post. The single horn chirp I don't think has anything to do with it but my security light flashes rapidly. I'm chalking it up to a bad chip in the key, which i got 2 from Amazon (one worked and one did not) or something wonky in the pats system. I ordered a different key. Hopefully oem as it had a ford logo on it so I will see. Is there anything in forscan that might help?
