My car won't start be cause the alarm sounds as soon as i turn ke

The day before I had to jump start my car cause it sat up for a while. Well, I drove the car the whole day, stopping and starting with no problem. The next morning I get in, turn the key and the alarm goes off. The alarm has a solid horn sound not the beeping thats common. I tried everything from trying to jump start the car again, charge the battery, called dealer and they suggested that I buy a new battery or tow the car in so that a new remote could be programmed. I haven't used my remote in years and don' t have a need for it now. Mechanically the car is solid don' know what happened?

I have a 95 camry 2.2 and it did the same thing. i helped jump a buddy's car then the horn started sounding. so i called the parts service for toyota they told me theres a switch under your dash, on the floor board, right above where the left is placed. there was a switch, he told me to flip it then my car started working no problem. that was about 1 yr 1/2 ago.

The alarm won't go off

Try this:
SAVE radio code and remove the negative battery cable,turn on the headlight switch for 30 seconds,turn back off,start truck.
That MAY re set the alarm relay.

96 volvo 850 won't start and horn and turn signal chirp on and off

My wife ran into this problem one day when she came out of a store. Turns out the car alarm had been set off in her absence, and the alarm system had immobilized the car. The solution was to simply use the remote (rather than the key) to unlock the car. That cleared the immobilizer, and she started it up and drove off.

How did you test the battery? The fact that you jumped it and drove home with no problem tells you the battery is the problem.

Just purchased a 94 Sunbird SE for my son (today) Started fine. Drove for 15 minutes. Shut it down and it sat for 1 hr. Started again after registration and insurance. Drove for 10 minutes. Stopped once...

Take it back to where you got it and make them refund your purchase price. If they refuse and you finianced it go to them, There a law called "The Lemon Law" that makes it unlawful to sell something like that. Sounds like you sure bought one. Don't do anything to it just get hold of the place where you bought it and tell them to come get their junk out of your yard! dhgill1949
