Car alarm problems, Baffled Options

[celicaman96]

So it seems my car alarm is stuck "on" and it's the type that cuts the ignition and battery when its going. I can't seem to figure out what to do. I can jump my car but the second I stop and turn it off, it completely shuts off and the alarm begins. It just goes and goes until the battery is dead...

Things I've tried:

- Valet switch...doesn't even seem to work correctly anymore
- Keyless remote...won't shut the alarm off anymore
- Starting car...the ignition is cut by the alarm going off

I haven't replaced my remote battery or my car's battery...those two are coming next. But really my only idea is to completely cut the power to the alarm all together....how can I do that???? Any other ideas??? Thanks everyone!

Sounds like the alarm is loosing power. When you first power up most alarms they go off by default. Could be your battery voltage is low. Try hooking up like you are gonna jump your car. But don't turn on your ignition on. Does the alarm work like it should? If it does replace your battery.

If you still can't find the problem you need to find the alarm brain. Probably under the dash above you feet. If you disconnect the siren you can listen for the relays clicking to help you find it. You can either pull the whole brain out or look for an inline fuse that supplys power to the brain and pull it.
