How do I figure out what brand my remote car starter is?
Q. Have a 2002 Ford Freestar it has a remote starter installed. It belonged to my parents and it used to work but the remote broke and they lost it. Now I am trying to figure out how to get a replacement remote but I don't know what brand the remote starter is. I know the light blinks blue where the antenna is. Other than that, does anyone know where I can find out the brand,etc.? Thanks I believe it is aftermarket. We did not buy the van new.

A. Yes, you can buy a Universal remote and consolidate all your current remotes into one. The Universal will come with a code book and instructions on how to program it. You will need to look up the codes for each individual piece of equipment (by component type and brand name) and try each code listed until you find the right one. Sometimes it's the first code listed and other times you may have to try a few before you find the right one. If the brand of one of your components isn't listed, then you can still program it into the Universal provided that you have the original remote. You will have to "teach" the Universal what each button is by pointing the 2 remotes at each other and pressing each button individually. The Universal will then " [cont.]

A. If the remote on the fan is built in, you might need to buy a replacement remote control. Hunter is a main brand, so the HD or Lowes should have universals in stock. Or contact Hunter and order a replacement directly. It the remote is an after market type, shut the power off at the switch or breaker, remove the canopy at the top, the piece that is touching the ceiling, and remove the plastic box that the wire in going into. The wires coming out of the ceiling box are black or red, white and green. The wires coming out of the fan are black, blue, white and green. After disconnecting all the wires, connect the green wire from the ceiling box to the green wire from the fan, white to white, and black to the blue and black wires from the fan.
