Abstract

An automatic starting and electronic detection system for remotely starting a vehicle and scanning the vehicle's electrical system components for explosives or to detect malfunctions. The system includes a clock and remote-control receiver and transmitter combination which are electrically connected to the battery and operable to be energized for selectively connecting a current signal from the battery to the balance of the system including the starter circuit of the vehicle. The electronic detection device includes a cascade arrangement of timers for actuating various vehicle lights and accessories, and the vehicle's horn, in a predetermined sequence of sufficient duration to give a vehicle operator feedback for each step in the sequence.
