  If your MasterForce remote starter won't jump start your car, there are several potential reasons. First, ensure that the Jump Start switch is turned ON. Next, check the clamps for a solid connection to both the battery and the frame, ensuring the connection points are clean. Also, verify the battery charge status by pressing the Select button on the front of the unit, referring to the Digital Display section. Finally, the vehicle's battery might be defective and require a professional check.

  If your MasterForce remote starter unit isn't powering your 12V device, start by ensuring the 12V device is switched on. Then, check the battery charge status of the portable power unit by pressing the button on the front. See the Digital Display section for details. If the device still doesn't power on, it's possible the 12V device draws more than 15A or has a short circuit, in which case you should contact a qualified service technician to replace the fuse.

Why does my MasterForce 260-9518 display 'err' when the inverter is on?

  Christopher SkinnerAug 13, 2025
  If the inverter on your MasterForce Remote Starter is on but the display shows 'err', it could be due to a couple of reasons. First, the jump starter battery may not be fully charged, so try recharging the unit. Alternatively, the device you're using might be drawing more than 400W or has a short circuit. Ensure you only use devices that draw less than 3.3 amps of AC current.

  If the alarm on your MasterForce Remote Starter is activated, it's likely due to reversed connections. Disconnect the jump starter and reverse the clamps to correct the polarity.
