Car Battery? Jump Start? Alarm keeps Going off.
Hey everyone, I need some help before I start taking it to the the dealer and tried and get it fixed. Last Saturday night I was home, my car alarm starts going off no reason at all. Factory alarm, I pushed the off the horn stopped but flashes keep going. Disconnected the battery overnight, in the morning put it back on flashers stopped, car started drove around for a couple hours.
Sets all day sunday, Monday morning try to start it just clicks....took the battery to autozone said still holding a charge 11.3v but it was just dead. They charged it put it back in no luck. Jump started it monday night. Went and got it tested while running, they said bad alternator, battery is fine. Took it home while running took the positive off, car ran fine.... All week been driving it to work. approx 14 startups. This morning go out just clicks like the battery is dead again.
So I get it jump started again, weird slow start. And the flashes came back on no horn or nothing just flashers. Then i drove it around the block and parked it and turned it off again without trying to restart cause I needed to come to work.
Before I go and get ripped off at the dealer, can I please have some advice? Thanks! https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/sadwavey.gif
