The only reason I know this is that I am hearing my wife on the phone with one of her cadre of friends.
Yesterday was her weekly Mahjong tournament and luncheon at the country club. The temp hit 101 F in mid afternoon when she was about to leave. She could not remote start her car---it just flashed the red light on the key fob each time she tried. So---off to the car at some unimaginable temperaturebut was relieved that it started once she parked herself inside that inferno
I had asked her to stop at one of my produce stands on the way home---which she did but was still whining about the heat when she got home.
Now for the rest of the story, as the saying goes. The key fobs for both "drivers" are identical---almost----on the reverse side is the logo for each marque. As I just overheard----this morning when she was ready to go swimming (indoor), it worked perfectly, flashing green immediately. Only when she went out and found her car not running, but could hear the Explorer was, did she realize the source of her hot seat yesterday
The good news is we are having a cold snap:
