When I was installing the remote start into my car with push-to-start, something went wrong and I couldn’t complete it. I started undoing everything and tried to start the car. During this process, I guess I forgot connecting one of the wires I cut, which made my car immobilized. I’m trying hard to get it back to start. I tried following the solution mentioned for Hyundai cars on your website, but still unable to start. Can someone please help me get my car started?

Welcome to 2CarPros.

Did you reconnect all the wires you cut? Next, I need to know what you cut and if the battery was disconnected while you did the work. Have you checked fuses? When you try to start it, does the starter engage and the engine just fail to start? Last, can you tell me if the theft light is staying on?

I will try to help with that info, but you may need to have the computer scanned to determine what is causing the problem.

Let me know,

Joe
