If the remote start is not working then You need to change the battery on the key fob. All key fobs use the same type of battery, which is a cr2032 battery. These are small coin-shaped batteries and they will cost You about 5 dollars each on average. You can find them in the same place You would normal batteries. To change the battery You will need to remove the back panel of the fob. Some fobs are different than others. You may be able to simply pull down on the back and have the piece slide off. If so then You can simply remove the old battery and put the new one in its place. However, You may need to remove a couple of tiny screws before You can do this. They are not hard to get out, as long as You have a small enough screwdriver on hand.

If the remote start is not working properly on the ford explorer, you may have to reset it by turning the ignition on without starting the car. Then press and hold the lock button for one second and then turn it off.
How do you turn the car ON without starting it if there’s a push button start. Not a key ignition ????

If you have a check engine light on, the remote start will not function. I guess this is a safety feature. Clear the check engine light and if you have good battery in remote, it should start.

@Patricia If vehicle is push button all you have to do is push your start button, however DO NOT push the brake in with your foot. This is equivalent to turning key on without starting.
