I just bought a 03 duramax and the previous owner said that the command start quit one day when it was really cold out. Anything i should check? I dont have any experience with command starts, i'm pretty sure this one is a ultrastart 2600 command start/alarm combo.

well i found the manual at http://www.ultrastarters.com/manuals_download_pdf/English/MAN-25XX-INSTALL-U.pdf
I tried to put it into programming mode, the led lights on the antenna come on and flash so the unit must be getting power.
Its not so much that i need it to work, i havent ever had a remote start before (ya i know i must be the only person in canada that hasnt lol) but i'm a little anal about things working if they are there they need to work.

Unit maybe in service mode. Follow instructions in user guide on how to get out of that.
When using the remote fob, Does it do anything? Locks work? Do lights flash at all when hitting any of the buttons?
Tell me exactly what happens when hitting the lock/unlock and * start button. I'll get you thru this!

thanks for all the help guys!! nothing works on the remote...except the cool blue "things should be working" light. No park lights, no locks, no nothing. Its almost like the remote and truck arent communicating. I will check the service mode in the morning. -35 here tonight

ok i tried that ...nothing. The two lights on the antenna come on and stay on when the truck is shut off. They dissapear when the truck starts (with key) and nothing happens when i press the button on the antenna with the truck running. When its not running the leds will go out as long as im holding the button. Park lights also do not flash. Could it be that the relays in the command start got too cold?
