Fordpass Remote Start Not Showing
If you’ve ever been in a situation where you’re trying to remote start your Ford car and the FordPass app isn’t showing the button, don’t worry, you’re not alone. Many Ford owners have reported this issue and there are a few reasons why it might be happening. In this blog post, we’ll go over some of the potential causes for this problem and what you can do to fix it.
Ford Pass not working? Here is how to get it going again.
If you’re a Ford owner with a FordPass account, you may have noticed that the Remote Start feature is missing from your account. This is because the feature has been temporarily disabled while Ford works on fixing a bug that caused some vehicles to unexpectedly turn on their engines.
In the meantime, if you need to remotely start your Ford vehicle, you can use the MyFord Mobile app.
Simply download the app and follow the instructions for setting up remote start. Once you have the app set up, you’ll be able to start your car from anywhere with an internet connection.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and we hope to have the Remote Start feature back up and running soon.

The FordPass app is available for download on both the App Store and Google Play. Once you have downloaded and installed the app, sign in using your Ford account or create one if you don’t already have one.
With an account, you can use all of the features of FordPass.
If you want to use the Remote Start feature, your vehicle must be properly equipped with remote start and have an active subscription to a Remote Start service plan. To find out if your vehicle has remote start, check your owner’s manual or ask your local Ford dealer.
To activate the Remote Start feature, open theFordPass app and tap on the Vehicle icon in the bottom navbar. Then select “Remote Start” from the list of options. If this is your first time using this feature, you will need to read and agree to the Terms & Conditions.
Once you have done that, press “Continue” and then “Start Engine” to remotely start your car. The engine will run for 10 minutes unless you cancel it sooner or turn onthe ignition (which will automatically cancel the remote start).
Remember to never leave children or pets alone in a vehicle that is running, even for a short period of time.

Why Isn’T My Fordpass Remote Start Working
If you have the FordPass app and your Ford vehicle equipped with remote start, you may be wondering why your remote start isn’t working. There are a few reasons this could be happening:
1. Make sure your vehicle is in park.
The remote start will not work if your car is in gear.
2. Check to see that all doors are closed. The car needs to have all doors shut in order for the command to go through.
3. Ensure that there is no personalization set on your key fob that would prevent it from working. You can check this by trying the button on your key fob outside of the car- if it doesn’t do anything, then there may be an issue with how it’s programmed.
4. It’s possible that there is something interfering with the signal between your key fob and car- try standing closer to the vehicle or moving it to a different location to see if that makes a difference.
5. If none of these things seem to be the problem, there could be an issue with your particular vehicle model or FordPass app- in this case, you should contact customer service for further help troubleshooting the issue.
What Should I Do If My Vehicle Doesn’T Have a Factory-Installed Remote Start System
If your vehicle doesn’t have a factory-installed remote start system, there are still a few things you can do to get it started remotely. One option is to install an aftermarket remote start system. There are many different types and brands of aftermarket remote start systems available, so be sure to do your research before choosing one.
Another option is to use a smartphone app that allows you to remotely start your vehicle. Some apps also allow you to control other features of your car, such as the locks and climate control. Be sure to check with your car’s manufacturer to see if they offer a compatible app for your model.
Conclusion
If you’re a Ford owner with a FordPass account, you may have noticed that the “Remote Start” feature is missing from your account. This is because the Remote Start feature has been temporarily disabled while Ford works on resolving an issue. In the meantime, owners can still use their key fobs to start their cars remotely.
We’ll update this article when the FordPass Remote Start feature is available again.
