Ok so I havent been using my alarm on my car. I have been using just the key to lock and unlock. Well i went to run an errand today and got back to the office at about 3:30pm. I got off at 4:30pm and go out to my car and get in and go to start it and nothing - no click no nothing. then i put my foot on the brake as normal and the alarm goes off and im like WTF so i hop out and pop the hood and im like WTF am i thinking i cant see ish im in the parking garage. so i get out and go upstairs and call my b/f he says to go try again and jiggle some cables on the battery..so i open the door and it goes off again and i search frantically for thre key pad (it was in the ashtray) and i click it off..then i try to start it and it goes off again...then i shut it off and then it beeps and then it goes off but very weak and slow as if it were dying.
I dont know whats going on --- i didnt have any lights on and no doors were open and the inside light was not left on! can anyone think of whats going on??? -------------------- Cruisin down the street in my Infiniti...always lookin for my next trip to Sin City

sounds like your battery is not holding its charge anymore, causing the alarm to reset. youll probably need a jump to start the car. if the alarm is still armed, try to find a vallet button....probably somewhere under the steering wheel ...normally holding the button while trying to start the car, should disable it

You can clutch start the car if you don't have jumper cables. Put the car in gear, clutch engaged, and have someone push you then pop out the clutch. Hope your car is alright if you have to leave it.
