Car alarm issue

Hi,

I need you to try something. Disconnect the battery and then connect the positive terminal first and then the ground. The manual indicates that is the procedure. See if that makes a difference. Also, see pic below.

Let me know if that takes care of it.

See pic.

That's how I always disconnect then reconnect switches is why i'm puzzled by the alarm issue. Because I changed my fob battery tested and fully charged the car battery all after it was not doing it when I last disconnected it to try and fix another issue. i'm trying to fix with the assistance of you guys. then when I went out the next day to work on my truck and plugged it up to open my trunk that only opens by a push button and it started blasting off. so I have been trying anything I'm told since there's no fuse for the alarm ether.

Hi,

First, let me know if this has an intelligent key or not so I know for sure where to start looking. Also, try this.

Disconnect the battery. Using something like a zip tie, connect the two cables together and let it sit for approximately 10 minutes. That will drain any power stored in capacitors. Then try reconnecting it.

Let me know.

Joe

It's a push button start and won't start if the key fobs not in the car, it has a key that only opens the driver door. I changed its battery also. okay, I will try the suggestion. do you mean I need to let the 2 cables touch for 10 minutes or keep apart?

Hi,

The cables need to touch (not connected to the battery). Disconnect both the neg and positive battery cables from the battery and tie them together. It's a theory at this point, but there could be a capacitor that is holding enough power to prevent things from resetting.

Let me know.

Joe

Okay, so I set a timer for 10 minutes, set them together as close as I could by tightening g the zip tie and it still sets off the alarm when reconnected and my manual has nothing in it about alarm or security that I can find. any other thoughts or suggestions or how can I just disable it?

Whoo hoo. yes, I did what you said again only this time had someone inside to try to start my car at the same time and it's back to normal. thank you so much you're the best.
