Title: Automatic starter starting by itself?
Post by: jstone on March 29, 2018, 12:54:58 PM: What would make an remote start in my truck start my truck on it’s own? Sounds crazy. This morning it started in its own, then today at lunch the wife went home and the truck was on?? Ideas

Do you have a buddy/neighbor that is messing with you? Kinda reminds me of the scene in Grumpy Old Men where one of them is changing channels on the others tv.

Thanks everyone

I had a bad key for my company truck, it would glitch out about three to four times a month just out of the blue and it would trigger the panic button and the damn alarm would go off for ten minutes. I replaced they key and haven't had a problem since.
