which remote start did you hook up...check your starter wires. make sure that you have them hooked up in the right direction and that you have a good connection....check you remote wires....even if the bypass was bad, the car should still try to start. if it does not...you have a wiring issue, not a dead battery....start at the ignition harness from the key cylinder, make sure all your signals are good from there...work your way to the brain. i had the same issue once, bad connection on the starter wire...took me 2 hours to find out that i had a bad connection.

hope this helps.

Its an ultrastart remote starter, but i never installed it yet, only the bypass and then i removed it. I cut the starter wire and soldered it back together. The wire is tight so i just soldered it and not twisted the wires together. Could that be a problem? Why is it draining my battery?

Are you sure the battery is going dead? Is the new battery taking some good amps on the charger?

when i test the 12volt red constant wire in the ignition harness i get a reading of ~7.00 on my voltmeter. When i put the charger on the new batter the reading on that wire will read ~13.5. Im charging my battery as we speak. its half way charged.

So after just 2 hours with a new battery it was dead? Yikes - must be a big draw somewhere. Do you have a low amp clamp and a DMM? That is the best way to monitor current draw, being that it is non-intrusive. You didn't leave something on??

Would a bad alternator do this? I was having problems starting the car on the first try all last week.

I noticed that the red battery bolt is warm after being connected. Almost seems like there is a draw. When i turn on the lights or try to start the car there is a click from the box(maybe computer) above the passenger kick panel. Any thoughts on what could be shorting out or how to reset the system?

Just installed a remote start in a 2001 pontiac

the typical passlock 2 bypass is too sensitive

for that car what will work is a peripheral ppl-data bypass
