The remote starter fuses will be under the dash somewhere, there is usually 2 of them, pull them both and go to your installer monday. all the above opinions definitly hold true..

Well you definitly have a big draw somewhere, On older vehicls you could start the car and pull the Pos. battery post, if the car stayed running the alternator is ok, if it stalled the alt. is shot . You can try it, but I don't know if it holds true. or get into your main fuse panel with an amp meter and find what ckt. it pulling a draw. I know you will find it that way...

Did the installer tell you that, because if he did I think he is full of sh*t. He probally did a poor job on something else and didnt want to tell you the real reason. Reason why I say this is because even if he some how "plugged it in wrong" I sont see how he possibly plugged it in so It was pulling 4 amps, and even so if it was pulling 4 amps that shouldnt kill the battery in 3 hours. There had to be something else
