I am thinking it is my alarm not working correctly that is not letting me start my car.I do not know what alarm they installed, but it only has 3 buttons... unlock - lock - red panic
To open my trunk, I HOLD DOWN the unlock button for like 2-3 seconds and it pops open.I do NOT have power locks.

Now my issue is kinda serious as I cant start my car! I need to go places and it wont start.My battery is brand new.I turn my key all the way and I get nothing.I lost the little paper that told me what alarm it was.
What I want to do is try and disable it first to see if that helps.
Someone once told me to do so was turn on the ign to acc and press on the little red button on the dash.I know I was told there is a sequence to it, but forgot.If this helps, I can scan my alarm remote so it can be identified.

Usually to get into valet mode you have to turn the ignition on then off with the door open. Once you do that you have a few seconds to press the valet button.

If you have a test light or multimeter and understand how to use it, it would probably be easier to check for voltage at the starter motor while someone turned the key and held it in the "Start" position. If you have sufficient power to the starter, the problem is not with the aftermarket alarm. You may just have a bad starter motor.

I too thought about the starter, but the thing is, I hear no 'typical' starter noise.No clicking or anything.Which I would assume means it is totally dead if I hear no 'typical clikcing'.But another thing is, I have been able to start it a couple times.
For about 15min I tried with no luck.I then tried it again and it started.I turned it off and started again.Turned off and started again.Turned off for final time and it would not start after that last time.
From that point I have not been able to start it.

So I dont know what else to think other than the alarm not letting me start it.


EDIT:Issue fixed
Got underneath, hit the starter with my dead-blow, car started.
Me needs a new starter.
