No probably not, someone other than an authorized alarm installer installed it and thats why you have an issue- the main issues is alarms and especially remote starts gains access to very powerful parts of your car and if connected and fused correctly would cause no damage to the car but will rarely fail. If in fact it is plugged up correctly then you have nothing to worry about unless it has a kill switch the car should operate normally without the remote start. If you do have a kill switch and the alarm was engaged and malfunctioned you may not be able to start your car without bypassing the remote start. Try looking for burn out fuse on the alarm fuse connections and the cars fuse box. don't buy an alarm module unless its the main control unit(another alarm) as this will not help- most alarm accessories are sensors most if not all the relays are in the main control box which is the alarm. good luck

You may have corrosion inside your battery cables or a loose connection somewhere.
If you have a voltmeter connect one lead to the POSITIVE post of the battery and the other to the POSITIVE post on your starter while you have a friend crank the engine
WATCH YOUR HANDS!
This is called a voltage drop test and you should see less than 0.5v on the multimeter while you are trying to start it, if you have high resistance (corrosion bad connections) you will see a higher voltage. 0.5v is the MAX you should see.
Do the same test on the ground side of the circuit, connect to the NEGATIVE battery terminal and the starter case, your voltage reading should be 0.1v or less

may be starter relay this will be under the hood check the fuse panel under the hood and look for the position of the starter relay. change this it is cheap and see if that helps. and your sure your battery is fully charged when there is no activity because it will not engage if not enough juice. start at the relay though and well move on from there.
SOURCE: starter shorted out burned a ground wire replaced
chances are when you burnd the wire you fired some fuses
SOURCE: Starter activates when battery wire connected and
sounds like you are hooking up the starter wrong. the positive goes to the starter main terminal from the battery. the ignition wire goes to the s on the solenoid, which activates 12 volts when the ignition switch is turned on which causes a magnetic field
inside the solenoid and joins the connectors
in the solenoid to the main positive wire from the
battery to the main starter unit brushes/armature inside the starter unit. If you have a constant
12 volts from the ignition wire it will keep the solenoid engaged. If you put the main positive wire on the wrong solenoid terminal it will immediately engage the starter. try putting the main battery wire to the correct terminal or perhaps check the ignition wire for a short or constant voltage to the solenoid.

Is the engine turning over and just not starting? Go back to basics, you need fuel, fire, compression, and proper timing to get it to start. Check the fuel pump, do you hear it run when you turn the key on? Do you have fuel pressure, if so check for spark at the spark plugs, if you have spark try turning the engine over and have a buddy spray some starting fluid in the throttle body, if it tries to start then you have a fuel problem. If no fire check dist module, ign coil and coil wire.
