My battery went dead and now when I try to charge it the car alarm goes off. I didn't even know I had an alarm. I have no remote to activate it.

I am just trying to figure out how to deactivate the car alarm.

You will have to bypass the alarm, to the left of the steering wheel, behind the vent are two boxes (modules) the alarm has two connectors, one has 6 wires and the other has 10, the 6 pin has a red wire and a red and black wire, jump those two together and you will bypass your alarm completely

Take to dealer. Vehicle needs vag-com to be reprogrammed. Bring all keys with you to dealer.

SOURCE: 2000 VW Passat won't start/car alarm goes off/stuck in anti-theft

My car, 2000VWPassat, is doing exactly the same thing as of Wednesday April 7, 2010. The dealer has been looking at it for 6 hours and they said they have absolutely no clue what is happening. They are elevating it to an "engineer".

I parked my 2001 Taurus sel it ran when I parked

It is possible that the car's alarm/immobilizer system is preventing the vehicle from starting. Manufacturers, in an effort to prevent car theft, have the immobilizer activate if the battery circuit is interrupted for more than a certain number of minutes. This keeps car thieves from cutting battery cables to prevent alarm activation. If the battery goes flat-line dead, the same thing can occur. You need a special tool available at a dealer or repair facility to reset the immobilizer.

2004 chrysler pacifica no power even after jump

check for a bad connection like a bad ground at the battery, make sure both terminals are tight at the battery, the starter and the ground at the engine. the shop that installed the EGR should have erased the codes, after 50 to 100 miles you would be able to go through emissions.

When i try to start me 2008 sonata the alarm goes off and the engine will not turn over. what can i do?

Your Sonata is equipped with a "Keyless Entry & Burglar Alarm" system. When the Burglar Alarm is activated, it KILLS the starting system through the used of a relay called the "Burglar Alarm Relay". This mode prevents engine starting with the key.
Solution #1
Disarm the system with the Keyless Remote (key fob) If you don't have this remote (or its battery is dead) replace the battery & try disarming again.
Solution #2
Enter the vehicle & insert the key in the ignition and turn the ignition switch to 'RUN'. Wait 3 to 5 minutes until the alarm stops. You should then be able to start the engine.

Have a qualified/certified Hyundai Service Technician properly diagnose this issue.

My explorer won't start, It was dead, I charged the battery. got a clicking noise. the battery died again, charged it and let it sit for a couple hours, went to try again, didn't even have to...

if the batter has a drain the starter may be at fault the starter can drain a battery with out running i would unhook the battery cables then charge the battery then i would have the starter tested.

Disconnect the fuse for the alarm system or unplug horn relay system to change battery if you unplug fuse you will have to reset the alarm, be sure you know how to do this before disconnecting the fuse to the alarm system. Hope this helps.

Elantra will not start-tried jumpers- works 1 time only afterward

Take it to a garage and have them check the starter motor, alternator and battery. This problem sounds like it could be a seized starter motor but it could be a dead battery.
