Hey my girlfriend was gasing up her car on Tuesday night. She never got out of the car and when she went to start the car it wouldn't turn over but all the display lights were working.
So than she asked the gas jockey to help her he told her to try again than the alarm starts going crazy.
So I figured the battery was pooched. I tried jump starting and cleaning up the battery terminals but nothing.
Everytime you put the key in and turn it over to start the alarm goes crazy. You either have to wait the 60 seconds or disconnect the battery to get it to stop. When you reconnect the battery it will sounds again for about 20 seconds.
I'm sure it has nothing to do with the doors at all as I have tired locking/unlocking the doors many times.
I have tried to put it into valet mode. (turn the key 5 times) but nothing.
I am convinced that something in the ignition is pooched but I wanted to ask around before I start ripping the ignition out.
Also it does not have the OEM stereo anymore it has an aftermarket.
Thanks!
