My Dads truck will now make a loud click of clunk whenever the battery
terminal was plugged on. almost as though the remote starter was sending a
signal to the starter which was making a clunk. as soon as I unplugged the
wiring harnesses to the remote starter and then plugged the battery terminal
in again the truck didn't make the loud clunk. Do you guys think we should
just have the truck towed and have the computer checked out?
I just got off the phone with a family member who had a remote starter
installed by a local shop. after six months it burn his computer and his
modules for power windows/locks and a few other misc stuff (in a loaded
Bonneville). he basically fixed what he had to and deals with no power
locks and a couple of other things.
anyone else having trouble with these systems?

ok, It's for my Dad's 97 318 Dakota. Someone from his job told him that his
truck was outside "click" VERY LOUD. He went out there and sure enough it
was clicking. To give you some info, we installed a remote starter about
1.5 months ago and have had NO problems. Anytime he pushes the unlock/lock
button on the remote the truck is supposed to flash the parking lights three
times to say that it completed the instruction. well, now it clicks 3-4
time and flashes the brake light on the instrument panel and then flashes
the parking lights three times. His truck won't start and continually
clicks! we pulled the battery for now and I picked him up from work.
What is the clicking? Do you guys think I should unplug the brain for the
remote starter from the wiring to avoid that conflict. what are some other
test I can do to make sure we don't mess up the computer/fuse panel!
I am willing to call anyone since I have free long distance on my cell or
give my phone number to anyone who can help me.
