Car Alarms: flashers staying on after trying to use car starter, dash area, dash lights


Question
Yesterday the weather was really cold so I decided I should start my car to make sure it starts? I tried a couple times and it just clicked so I tried one more time and nothing but the 4 way flashers went on and stayed on , I had no way to turn them off?? which caused the battery to die, once that was charged we tried to turn off the flashers still nothing so we tried using the remote again, and nothing, everything in the car is blinking from my dash lights to my radio and still my 4 way flashers....what could cause this??

Answer
Ok, try to reset the alarm.

You'll need to set off the alarm for a few seconds.
Then, look under the dash area for a button or, a toggle
switch. When you locate it, turn on the ignition
key, press and hold in the button (little
spring loaded micro button, red or black possibly)
until the alarm chirps 1 time. This should over ride
the system, and only the keyless entry part,
if installed, would still be operating.
The LED (light emiting diode) light in the dash
should also go on solid.

At this point. the alarm would have reset.
If this had a starter kill relay installed,
it would now be opened, and the engine would
turn over when tried.

You would repeat these steps to go back to
user mode to see if this was corrected.

But if it does work, I'd keep it this way, and
replace the alarm asap with one you know and
understand how it operates for the best overall
experience.

Let me know if it works for yours.
