Car Alarms: Car security system, car security system, acura tl


Question
Hello...  I own a 96 acura tl and it wont start. Im pretty sure its something to do with the security system. There is no aftermarket alarm. When you unlock the doors from the passenger side you hear the security system tick several times and the red light blinks nonstop. but when you unlock from the driver side it only ticks a couple times. it seems to be having trouble with the driver door as the auto lock on that door doesnt seem to be working properly.all the lights and controls work properly so i know its nothing with the battery, but my car will not start whatsoever. What can i do?

Answer
I need to determine whether it's a factory alarm
issue or, if it's an aftermarket system you are
dealing with.

Ok let's clear up the terminology glitch here.

1. FACTORY/OEM alarm = Part of the original schematics
and plans from the manufacturer.
(horn honk, head lights flash, Starter may crank and
die, no spark)

2. DEALER INSTALLED alarm = Just that. Once the vehicle
is brought to a dealer, the dealer sub contracts the after market
security out.
(horn might honk, siren and parking lights flash, starter kill relay,
no start, no crank, just dead.)

3. AFTER MARKET alarm: Same as #2 but Customer IS AWARE that
the system was put in at the dealership, but may not
be informed of the brand name, or even what it's
total capabilities are.
(siren & parking lights flash, starter kill)

Which one applies to yours?
