Does the phone with the app AND where the Bronco is parked have good cellular signal ? Mine will not start from the app if it is in my metal garage with the bay doors closed. Open at least one door and it will start.
It is in my home garage and signal has not been an issue before. Today I did have a door open and no luck.
This is common. For @FoCoBronc -- your battery is either low on charge or dying, you need to charge it overnight, and if that doesn't work, replace it. (I know your gauge says 14.8-15.1... that's running)
As said above, checking the gauge with the engine running will show good voltage as long as the alternator is good, though 14.8-15.1 is actually on the high side and means the battery is being charged. I would suggest either putting an actual meter on it with the engine off, OR put it in ACC (push button w/o stepping on brake) and see what it says then - good chance it's closer to 12v than the typical 12.6 or so.
Thanks, learned something today. It’s registering 12 in ACC, so I guess it’s either slowly dying or I need to make longer trips for full charging…..
As a general rule of thumb, trips of less than 10-15 minutes don't really replenish what was used to start the vehicle (this is relatively true regardless of vehicle age and electronics). To do any appreciable charging, you would need to drive longer than that.
