So ive had my 2500 for almost a year now, love it to death however now that I have time to actually think and look into things I have a few switches etc that I have no idea what they are for, what they go to let alone what they do. Its a long shot but maybe I can get some ideas or information to what they might be for or possibly for. Pics attached

I did google the astrostart and it seems its for remote start, I do have the hand remote but cant figure out for the life of me how to use it....at least I cant get it to start

Switch 1....no idea, looks like a reset button to something, a rocket maybe....

Switch 2 again....no idea, couldnt even guess

switch 3 -- assume it was for the old tow controller, the three wires(blue, red, yellow) are all disconnected, I did trace the wires best I could and they go towards the engine bay but no luck. There is also a bunch of wires that go to the very front of the truck below and in front of the aux cooler, nothing is connected, just a bunch of wires wire tied together, I will get a pic of those.

The switch in pic three could be the 2x4 low switch modd, the other switches???
 
Pic 1 is the remote start antenna. Pic 2 is the bypass switch to put the remote start in valet mode. Pic 3 is a simple toggle switch that could have gone to aux lighting, and same for pic 4.

As for your remote start. Look up under the drivers dash and see if you can find the “brain”. (Black box with wires coming out of it) If it’s there, get the model # off it and get the manual online. It might be in valet mode which is why it’s not working. :cheers:
