Remote start not working
 

Hey guys, well the title pretty much sums it up. My remote start is no longer working. I click lock twice (as normal) and when i hold the start button my parking lights just flash. Anyone have any ideas what might be the issue? and yeah my car is out of warranty:(

This is what my wife had the other day, both fobs worked fine. We did though about 1 year ago have a fob completely not work but if you can lock it, its probably one of the above listed issues.
