I went to use the remote start today, and it only clicked and would not stop clicking, did not crank. I tried to start it with the key and nothing at all but the clicking stopped till I turned the key off. I then went to jump it, as soon as I put the cables on, it started without the key. I drove it home and it would not shut off. I got it to shut off, and now it wont crank or click, nothing at all, even with jumping it, using the key or the remote. Please help, thanks in advance

It sounds like a remote start problem. Did you have it installed or was it on the car when you got it?

I would start by removing the remote start unit and wiring to it under the drivers side of the dash then retest.
