Re: [DML] Help.....Car Won't Start



No rapid clicks. I may be getting a single click; it's hard to tell. 
However the engine does not budge at all. I'm using pretty robust 
jumper cables and have tried two different cars to jump it off of. I 
still think it has something to do with the Alarm system since it 
won't turn on now. I'm going to check the battery in the 
Alarm 'clicker' but I replaced it not too long ago so I don't think 
that's it. There must be some way to bypass the Alarm System or at 
least reset it.
