Help,
Started smelling a wire, electronic burning smell when i remote start my 98 max.
It is a combo of a old viper 300 alarm and a dei rattler 369d remote starter. The remote starter was added on 2 years ago, has been working fine,. first time problem. Only smell it when i remote start the car. Do i check the rattler unit first or overheating wires ? Anyone experience this issue ?


THanks,

 

personally id just take it all out. Better safe then sorry.

 

or take it to the installer, if it was done right and legit, the warranty is lifetime.

 

lol. something's frying...

if you have any installation knowlege, check the wiring. if not, take it somewhere.

where exactly is the smell coming from?

 

found a burned up 30amp fuse holder.. the plastic melted and burned..

 

that doesnt say much for the install.................................... Fuses shouldnt be melting sooooo id definatly consider taking it out. Or taking it to a professional

 

It was the fuse holder that started melting, i replaced it with a new one.
I also noticed that the 2 starter wires are jumped together. Should i put a relay
on the 2nd starter wire ?

 

I wouldn't start relaying things when you don't know what they are or how they're working together.
