I once posted a thread about the remote start not working and was told that you only have a couple of times starting it without putting the key in and it will no longer start. Good info so that problem was fixed.

Now, about half the time, when we use remote start it sets the alarm off. This is not after multiple tries. There is no repeated circumstance that we can see. We just hit the lock button and then hold down the start button... The car does start but the alarm starts right along with it.

Is there a simple explanation for this or do we have a problem?

Thanks.

 

Did you try both key fobs?

 

I had a similar problem awhile ago. Tried both fobs. Second worked fine. Changed battery in first (daily use). Haven't had a problem since. (dealer gave me new battery N/C)

 

Ahhh.. I don't know. We'll have to try that. I didn't think of the fob battery since it is only a few weeks old and we bought it straight off the truck. But then I guess the batteries could have been on the shelf for a long time. I'll check it out. Thanks.

 

Is this the Songman from PFF?

 

Yep... Are you on PFF? If so, what is your name there?

We've been having a few problems with our HHR too, but at least the dealer gets to fix those... That's more than I can say for the Fiero. :) I've just got back into my Fieros... Working on too many other things.
Best of luck with your issue.

What Is Pff?

 

I would venture to guess it's Pontiac Fiero Forum.

 

Pennock's Fiero Forum... 13,000 members and over 7 years online. It is without doubt the most useable forum I have ever been on... They tend to get too many political arguments in the O/T section for me.. but it is a great forum and if there is ANYTHING you need to know about a Fiero, it is there.. Cliff Pennock is the owner and he lives in the Netherlands... Kinda funny really that an obscure American car has a huge forum hosted in a small northern European country...
