Installing a ready remote starter

Hi Mark.
not sure if this link will help you out but have a look.
Wiring diagram for 2017 dodge ram to install remote starter from compustar...

Replace the starter. Starter is bound up and is drawing a lot of amps thus causing the burnt wire smell and wire to be hot.
This is a good video to help you diagnose the starter.

run a wire from side light connection to the no plate lamp

test battery first ,make sure it good,if battery is good then check for power at starter, two wires one has power all the time from batt, now have someone strat hold key in crank position and test for power at small wire, if you have power then starter is no good replace it, hope this helps.

I'm curious, does this vehicle have an alarm/remote starter? If so I expect the installer didn't wire it correctly ... it was an all too frequent issue, with inexperienced installers we had .... I would first suspect any add-on device first (if any) ... In answer to your question ... I know it does have a relay (Starter solenoid is a relay and built onto the starter) As far as it being a relay or the IGN switch ... I'm skeptical.

What exactly is the problem? Im an installer for Quality Auto Sound

Positive Battery cable will be the thick red wire goes to the starter motor and you thin wire goes to the alternator, do it disconcerting the battery first and follow up to starter one by one, use original parts make sure you clean the battery nipple, with sand paper, tight the starter motor nut well enough
