Pulling the fuses will isolate the remote start from the picture for the weekend, what kind of truck and what kind of remote starter was installed??

There isn't much of a reason for the starter to be pulling any kind of draw (espesially that fast) unless there is an install issue or just a tits up remote starter. You can see if the remote starter is pulling a draw with an amp meter. It should pull very little if any when it isn't engaged. unless your willing to try to dig around under the dash, I would just pull the fuses and head over to the shop monday and beat the installer (or sales guy make him pay too)

Good luck

You likely have a bad install or a bad starter kill relay. Or both.

That or else they used the starter disable wire to activate the PATS bypass module. I've seen this alot in the past from other installer's and this causes alot of electrical grief for customer's.
