Could my remote starter be causing it or is it a simple electrical problem?

Answer
Hi Laureen:

I would say it's either an issue with the remote starter or a bad ground wire/connection somewhere. I am not a firm beliver in any of those remote started installed on cars. I have seen so many issue with them. Usually the install is the problem and not the starter They are usually installed very poorly!!!!!! but the seconf thing would be a bad ground wire or connection. Those cars are noted for batteries leaking acid out and corroding the battery cables and that causes a whol ot of issues as well. It's a couple of places tro check and look at. good luck :}
