This switch is held inplace with 3 indents. I tighten these up by using a punch. This solved my no start problems.
In my case I removed the cylinder from the car to do this. The security bolts holding it in place were very loose so it did not take too long to remove them. I replace these with allen head bolts (needed to file the heads down a little to fit).

Starts everytime now instead of 1 or 2 times in 10.

Link to the tread that helped me (2nd post), too bad pictures are no longer there.

What kind of remote starter? I have a spare steering column somewhere, maybe I can replace those pictures if you think it's important. Thanks for sharing your experience, hopefully it will help future people figure this kind of stuff out. Was the ignition cylinder itself loose?
