2000 stratus beeps twice, flashes twice, repeats untill stopped, but it drives

Whether starting with remote or manually, car beeps twice, then flashes twice, beeps twice then flashes twice and this continues in a consistent fashion (even while driving) until the car is turned off. What flashes is the dash lights, the clock lights and the shift lights all at the same time. We are 2nd owner. It has a remote starter and alarm. We have only one remote, labeled Ultra. Thank you for your help. We tried to pull a code but it does not show anything.

This is usually a good situation to bring to alarm shop and have them take it out and see if you can just keep the remote start or it might need a new brain on the alarm system

Testimonial: "Jeremiah Roies Rocks! I Took Out The Remote Receiver from inside the car and everything is (appears) normal again. I don't need no stinkin' remote starter ... or do I, brrrrr baby it's cold out there. Lack of funds necessitates leaving it disconnected until we have funds to fix. THANK YOU JEREMIAH and HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!"

SOURCE: 2000 dodge intrepid won't start

If the key is returning to  the 'Run' position as it should, then either a relay controlling the solenoid or the solenoid itself is hanging up. The heavy contacts that send power to the starter can develop rough surfaces that can temporarily weld themselves together causing the starter to run on even though the engine is running and the key has returned to the proper position. There is also a spring that should normally help return the solenoid's contacts to their 'off' position that may be weakened.

I have a 2000 nissan primera and when i open the door the hazard lights flash then stop when i start the engin is this ment to happen?

No, its not supposed to happen. It sounds like you have a fault with the alarm system. When you open the door, it thinks its being entered illegaly, but when you put the key in the ignition contact, it recognises that the key is correct and will allow you to start the engine. You should take it to the dealer to check for the fault. Has the battery been disconnected recently ? or has the battery been replaced in the remote handset ?
It may be that the system requires resetting. To reprogramme the handset, do this -
obtain all keys
switch ignition on and off 6 times within 10 seconds
after 2 seconds, indicators will flash twice
press and hold unlock button
press lock button 3 times
release unlock button
indicators will flash once
if required repeat button procedureto programme remaining key remote handsets
switch ignition on
indicators will flash twice
remove key from ignition switch
check operation of all programmed key remote handsets

That should do it, if not then as i said you would have to go to the dealer.
Hope that helps
