Not sure what category this really fits into so am posting it here.
my son recently bought a 2012 ram. Bought as is didnt need much for safety but manifold bolt.
problem is with the remote start. he can press the button, the truck will honk but nothing happens. has anyone had any experience with this?

I know that the remote start won't work if the check engine light is on.

With my 16, you have to press the remote start button twice. Also won’t start if below 1/4 tank of gas.

Check the wiring harness at the hood latch. I think there's a fuse also for remote start.
