Ticking Noise

[mass_iv]

ok first of all i did a search and couldnt find anything about this....

the problem i face is this: MY CAR WONT START!!!!

yesterday i was alerted that my alarm was going off, so i went and checked it to find that it wont turn off with my remote. at first i thought i had a dead remote battery but changed that and the remote still wouldnt work.

now after switching the siren off, and while the alram still flashed on and off, i noticed a weird ticking noise from the from driver sound off the engine bay.

i opened the little fuse box found in the front near the wiper wash bottle, to see that one of the relay's was clicking. i pulled it out and it stopped.

the alarm still goes off though, and i cant figure out what this relay does.

anyone have any ideas???

The reason your car won't start I'm assuming is because your battery is flat and your alarm suggests so as well.

It is very common for most car alarms to go off permanently when there is little power left in the battery. They won't respond to your remote and the only way to turn them off is to disconnect your battery.

So what you should do is disconnect your battery, charge it overnight, put it back in your car with your alarm remote ready so you can turn it off as soon as it gets power.

And that relay you said was ticking was most likely the hazard light relay since you said the hazards stopped after you pulled them out.

all fixed was a stupid alarm fault, which in turn killed my battery. i dont know wat exactly happened as i got an auto electrician to have a look at it.
