i have a problem!

my car is frozen, so me and buddy pushed it towards the plug-ins(live in a apartment)... so when i tried plugging it in, the circuit cut out so i tried another plug-in, same thing... last couple of years i replaced the frost plug but i dont think thats the case;got a new one!

so i let it sit for a day or so, tried starting it, i can hear the starter going but i think it's something to do with the electrical.... maybe the car is not grounded and i need to replace the ground wire?, not too sure... Can you help it out?

What is the ground out when running wire on a boa 265b remote start?

Ground Out When Running means that the wire is grounded when the car is running from the remote start. When you put your key in and press the brake pedal, that line goes back to an Open Circuit (not grounded any more). It is typically used to start things like rear window defrosters, heated seats, heated mirrors when you use the remote to start your car. It could include anything that needs a button pressed and don't come on automatically according to the state they were left in when you turned the car off.
