Hoping I can find a solution here rather than pay the dealer a service fee for something that may be an easy fix.
If I double-click the remote start button on my keyfob, the horn honks, the lights blink and the engine briefly tries to turn over, then stops. I've searched the forums for some tips and none of the "usual suspects" seem to apply.

- It fails whether the car is locked or unlocked.
- I've not remote-started it 3 times in a row without starting it via the dashboard, so it shouldn't require a "reset."
- The gas tank is full.
- Transmission is in Park.
- This has happened at multiple locations (church, neighbor's house, at home in the garage).
- I've tried with both my keyfobs, so I don't believe it's a keyfob battery issue.
- I have no check engine light or other warning lights on the dash.
- It has always worked fine in the past. This behavior only started last week.
- The engine immediately starts up via the dashboard start/stop button, so it doesn't seem to be a car battery issue.
