Hello, my wife pulled up too close to a parking cement curve. She said the air conditioner was loud but still heard a thud or bumping sound. The dash lights come on but the car will not even click when turning on the ignition and the horn honks until you disconnect a battery terminal. How is it possible to reset the alarm as there is no remote to control the system. The dash lights have a small red car with the doors flapping opened and closed over and over. The wrecker cost to get it 6 blocks to my house is 75.00 and the guy wants us to call him in the morning at about 8:30. Small town wrecking person. Please make any suggestion that may or have to do with it not getting any fire.

hello?

The car will not start right? The problem can be the crankshaft position sensor. If the CKP is faulty it will not send signal to the car's computer that's why it will not start. Regarding the alarm tripping, the alarm may need replacement but must be checked physically first by an auto electrician. I am suspecting a faulty BCM itself. The BCM controls all of the electrical function inside the car and it can be faulty that's why the horn is tripping and the dash shows an open door even when it's closed.

It's not that easy to access Stephen but if you have a know how on engine trouble shooting that shouldn't be a problem
