06 ram 2500 viper starter factory alarm

Also, could this be caused by a bad install? Like shorting something out to cause a problem?

Doubt it.

Taken from the bulletin: "SYMPTOM/CONDITION: You may experience a no engine crank and/or a no engine start condition. Also, the remote keyless entry(RKE)system may not operate. This condition may be due to an electrostatic discharge(ESD)from the ignition key in to the Wireless Control Module (WCM),causing the WCM to electronically lockup. This condition may occur more frequently in dry and/or cold weather conditions where a sufficient electrostatic charge is more easily produced. This condition is corrected by the replacement of the WCM. Until the WCM is replaced,the WCM may be reset(unlocked)by either: disconnecting and then reconnect the battery negative cable at the battery, or by removing the IOD fuse(with the key out of the ignition switch),waiting 30 seconds, and reinstall the IODfuse." Sounds like they made a screwy electronic part, and aren't willing to do a recall. Once again - good luck.
