    Rut roh - electrical issue

    95 p73, i went to go back it out, cat was underneath, and i saw him fly out. I hit brakes, and i hear BUUUUZ, and car died. I go WTH. Car wont start. I go pop the hood, and the battery terminal seemed a bit loose, so i tightened things up, everythings alright.

    Go to start it - nuttin.


    I finally hit the remote start for shits and giggles, and BAM, it starts.


    I know the remote start was installed half assed, but i went ahead and started checking all my voltages with a MM, and everything seemed normal. I DID toast my 12v accessory fuse somehow, but ive done that a few times by dropping coins into the godforsaken cig lighter.


    Now, how hard is it to get rid of the damn remote starter, as i am SICK of it and would rather have a decent alarm on the car WITH a remote start that is properly wired.


    I DO wonder if one of the terminals managed to short with that halfassed battery bracket of mine. All i know is that the remote start SEEMS like it made that noise, since it makes a similar noise everytime i start it.


    I know it drains the battery and does not use the alt. When i start it with that godforsaken thing.


    Also, where would this thing be located, as i know the cars history sorta for this, it went



    RKE
    Alarm
    Remote Start W/O alarm because owner lost remote and it started to go off randomly on old alarm



    Now, where would be a good place to check for that alt. issue.

    I remember reading on p71 interceptor about alot of installers FUBARing it because they dont know how to run some wire up to the dash voltmeter or ABS light (But i dont have ABS?)

    I disconnected the receiver for the thing as i have walked out to the car 2 times sitting there running, when ive had the keys and it is impossible to start it.
Working...
