been told to check the wire coming from my remote start to check for shorts or loose connections, and to replace the wire coming from my starter to my battery.... there are a few bare spots on the wire and may be causing it to arc and short out....doesa this make sense?
Yes that makes sense. You should check both battery cables for bare spots where insulation has come off and there connections for a tight corrosion free fit. The positive cable goes from the battery to the starter and the negative goes from the battery to the engine block or chassis. You may want to look around the area where the bare spot is as it would create a very large arc which could cause damage to components around it. It will be attracted to metal, but if that metal has a hose attached to it or is anywhere near an electronic part look at them to see if the have damage from an electrical strike.
