I don't know much about this, so I was hoping someone could help. My mechanic is having trouble installing a remote starter in a chrystler town and country van. The problem is the motor won't turn over long enough to start. Does anyone know why this might be?

if your van has a anti theft device from factory you will have to buy a interface bypass adapter to bypass the anti theft some requir an extra key and some dont pull up the manufactor of the remote start on line and type in what kind of car you have and it will tell you if you need it or not more than likely that is your problem

your key may have a chip in it. You may need to post a spare key under your dash.

Yes I agree! I just got done with a come back on a 2002 chevy impala. Switched the remotes start to voltage sensing mode from tach mode and it did the trick. Starts every time now!
