I really think it's something other than temperature that is giving you issues.Remote Start will not work from the Pass app if temps are below about 45 degrees. Otherwise it works fine. Anyone have issues with it working in cold weather
Hasn't been above 45 here in Wisconsin in months. Mine works just fine. It's all about cell service and the Ford servers. Remember your phone does not connect directly to your truck.Remote Start will not work from the Pass app if temps are below about 45 degrees. Otherwise it works fine.

Thatās what I was thinking too... that by āresetā they are basically going to turn it off/on again. They did say they have been having issues with the App but after reading all of the many threads on this forum it seems this has been a long ongoing problem with the appI mean, that's the classic IT response of "turn it off and turn it back on". Not a surprising recommendation. Also wouldn't be surprised if it works. Especially if that's what usually works for your modem/router at home.
Matt, If you just disconnect the battery for a few minutes would that reset the modem? I'm guessing it shuts everything down like losing power in your house then boots backup. Figured would save Michelle a trip to the dealer.I mean, that's the classic IT response of "turn it off and turn it back on". Not a surprising recommendation. Also wouldn't be surprised if it works.

I'm the same way where I try everything I can first before letting someone else mess with my stuff. That and I'mI mean, I'm no IT expert, but it's certainly something I would try, personally. But I like trying to do things myself first, and am the kind of person who goes to the dealer/expert as a last resort. Gives me sense of accomplishment and saves money in most cases. Kind of like changing a tire yourself instead of calling AAA to do it.
Try all the simple stuff first yourself, and if that doesn't work, then call the experts. That way you don't look dumb or spend money on a guy to come in and just push a button. This is under warranty, so not quite the same but still, a general comment on problem solving.
Just giving a bit of insight into my though process for things.
Mine is behind the rear passengers seat so check there too.You can try disconnecting the battery but if it's truly a case of the modem needing to be reset, then just the battery won't work. The modem is basically a tiny computer so it has memory (albeit a small amount) and that may need to be flushed as part of the dealer process.
@Trigganometry says the modem is in the passenger compartment so you might want to take a look for a reset button or switch in there that you can take advantage of before taking to the dealer.
