When you turn the ignition key to the start position is there voltage at the little solenoid wire ? ( The wire that is plugged onto the "S" terminal)

You may have your bypass active at all times- and the vehicle is "seeing" two keys at the same time when you try to start it normally. which some systems do not allow. Does it remote start with no key near ignition? If so, does it remote start with a key in ignition?

Does this truck have a fender-mounted solenoid like older Fords? If so, using a long insulated-handle screwdriver, momentarily touch both large terminals at the same time. Make sure ignition is in the run position, transmission is in Partk or Neutral and the parking brake is on fully. Wheel chocks would mean extra safety. If the engine starts or at least cranks, then you have either a faulty solenoid or corroded terminals similar to battery terminals. IMPORTANT!!!!!!! Do not touch metal shaft of screwdriver wild attempting this procedure!!!!!!SHOCKING----ELECTROCUTION!!!!!!!!
