Strange electrical issue when trying to start

[Dwittig33]

Hi guys, I have an 05 Ram 1500 5.7. When i try to start it, i get a click like it's a dead battery then the red dot security light, the odometer and the door ajar light flashes and clicks until the battery dies or i unhook the batter. It keeps this up even if i pull the key out. I have tried a different battery and no help, I've checked all the main fuses and theyre good. Any ideas?

Here's a link to the video

My electrical issue may not have anything to do with either of yours, but on Monday, before heading out to work, I remote started my truck. I recently purchased a 2010 1500 4 weeks ago, and everything was fine until Monday. I had to run into the garage to grab something, and I heard the truck running at a higher RPM. when I went out to put my key in the ignition, the RPM's went down to a more normal warmup, the red dot on the dash stayed on, and the idiot lights for check engine, TPI, ESC, and I was getting a light in the middle of the dash that Showed EAS, with BAS under the EAS. So it went to the dealer this morning.

Personally, I think the aftermarket Viper remote start is the problem, and I told the service guy that, and that if they cant find the issue, to disconnect the remote start. At least they gave me a loaner.

Got the truck back, and it was the aftermarket remote starter. Evidently whoever installed it had their head up their a**, and it was only a matter of time before it burned up, fortunately it gave enough warning signs and I was able to get it in to the shop. They removed the entire remote system, the wires were burned and melted together causing the shorts that were setting off the warning lights. They had to replace several feet of wiring in both directions where the remote wiring had been spliced into the trucks wireloom.

Remote starts get such a bad name because of incompetent ********* installing them and screwing everything up.
