My 01 Acura MDX Touring Edition alarm keeps sounding while trying to connect the jumper cables in order to jump start it after the battery has died a couple of times. Why is this happening and how do i disarm or disconnect the alarm.

hi margie... This happens because the alarm system is sensing that the car is being stolen. To override this function, hook up the jumper cables again and have the car's key fob in hand.. The horn will start to blow. As soon as it does, using the key fob, lock and then unlock the doors. This will tell the alarm that the car's owner is there and it will the alarm will then "behave" [it won't go off again so that you can jump it peacefully]. Joe

Thanks for choosing Fixya!

Hi

Sounds like your battery, have you had it heavy discharge tested ?

Get the alternator charging rate tested if battery tests OK.

Good Luck !

Please give a FixYa rating !

Hi,if all your connections are good,it sounds like the alternator. I would take the battery out and charge it,then load test it.If it checks good.Take the alternator to autozone or advance and have it checked.Good Luck!!!
