Remote Start, Key Fob Won't Unlock Truck, Truck no Start

[slingshot383]

Friday at work, remote start didn't work, key fob wouldn't unlock truck, using key set off alarm. Put fob in ignition to try and kill alarm and to start truck, no joy, and truck wouldn't let go of the fob. Disconnecting batteries didn't help. Guess the ignition switch module is bad?

Also take it apart and clean out the pocket fuzz.

Filling in your signature (ie truck info) would be a great help for those......trying to help you.

My '11 did that recently. Disconnecting the batteries for about 15 min did the trick. I think there's a TSB on it, too.

End result, ignition switch module was bad and got changed out, cost me $100 plus the tow.
