  If your Schumacher Electric Remote Starter isn't jump-starting your car, there might be a few reasons. First, the clamps may not be making a solid connection to the battery or the frame. Ensure the connection points are clean and secure. Second, the jump starter's battery might not be sufficiently charged. Check the charge status by pressing the Display button on the front of the unit to see the percentage of charge.

  If your Schumacher Electric Remote Starter isn't powering your 12V device, several factors could be at play. Ensure the 12V device is turned on.
