why wont my remote work and engine lights on.

Hello, I'm sorry to say that you'll need to have some hands on testing. If the remote start system is a factory equipped system, then on board vehicle diagnostics will be able be utilized to find out what is and is not working properly. If the system is an add on item, then it may be far more difficult to know what's going on. Either way, seek the guidance of a technician near you.
