Just installed a avital 4103 remote start system on my 2001 dodge ram, after getting everything wiring in, everytime i hook up the power wire to the battery it trys to start, it cranks over but does not fire. Ive checked the wires multiple times and cant find whats messed up. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Did you hook up a transponder? Sounds like one is needed. To test, put the key in the ignition cylinder (keep it in the lock position) and try to remote start. If it starts, you need a transponder.

Pull all the fuses on the heavy gauge wires before reconnecting the battery.

The system might be stuck in remote start mode. Try to disable it when you reconnect the battery. Also, double check your wires and make sure they're connected to the right wires at the ignition.

If you put the fuses back in, it'll probably try to start again.

Try checking the wires and make sure the remote start is turned off. Avital systems have a memory and will resume their last known state if power is disconnected.

No question is stupid or not worth asking. You were once a noob, right? :)

Ive checked the wires and all the ignition wires are right, i guess im not sure how to shut the remote start off, but even with the hoodpin up it still trys to start, i thought the whole point of it is to keep it from starting?

The hood pin will turn off remote start and trigger the alarm.

Does the starter start flying as soon as the cable is touched to the battery, or does it wait about 5 seconds?

It sounds like a defective remote start unit. If you pull the fuses and it doesn't try to start, it's definitely the remote start.
