Remote Start Intermittant.

Remote Start Intermittant.
2007 HHR LT 2.4 DOHC
The remote start works like a champ during the summer in the desert where I can leave the A/C on while I step into a store.
But in winter it is a sometimes affair. The clearance lights will pop on and a solenoid will whir for 5 seconds like it is trying to engage, then nothing. Seems to be a moisture problem, but where do I look? The dealer wants a $110 diagnostic fee.
New alternator and battery already.
Thanks for any help ahead of time.

The description of a whir noise actually sounds as if the starter may be turning but not engaging the flexplate. The starter bendix may be the problem.
If you replace it, best to get a complete starter/solenoid unit.
