My remote start just stopped working when it gets cold outside?

[pearviii]

Anybody know what it could be?

 

[Icarus]

What make? What else is hooked up to it (immobilzer, starter interrupt, etc etc?)

 

[pearviii]

i have no idea to any of the above. I bought the car with it. It worked about 20 times then just stopped?

 

[Icarus]

Hard to say then. Find the brain for it and check the fuses for it and any relays hooked up to it, check the remotes, trace the wires if need be, etc...

 

[pearviii]

its made by designtech dont know if that helps.

Auto Command?
You still need to be looking for the brain and checking fuses, remotes, relays etc to start... No power or signal to brain, no start...
Whats it do when you try and start it? You've not given us any info at all really other than it wont start

i will get more info tommorow. The remote is a design tech 20051 the brain is a 20023. ill check fuses and everything else tommorow.

when you push the remote button before it stopped working the light only stay on as long as you push the button. But now it stays on for like 3 seconds after you let go of the button.

oh, thats an oldie, probably a bad onboard relay knowing them.
I dont know/remember if the '96 has pats, but the transponder module (extra key for security/bypass module) could be toast or come loose etc.
Heres a wiring diagram for your info:
