I was at a friends house and I do have a viper self start so as I was leaving I pressed it so it would be warm when I got in. I walk out and I see it’s not off but it’s trying to start. I figure it’s the battery so I try jumping it but nothing. I tried banging the starter and still nothing so I leave it over night. In the morning I take the battery to firestone and it tests fine. I recently replaced the alternator not even half a year ago so I know it’s not that. When I turn the key all my lights work and radio as well but when I try to completely turn the car on I can hear the clicking under the hood and when I take the key out the lights go off and I hear clicking under my dash and the anti theft red light is blinking. Could it be my aftermarket alarm messing with the factory one? Side note when I had the aftermarket one installed I didn’t have a spare key so the guy took the chip off my key to put it in the module. I’ve tried unplugging the aftermarket module but still doesn’t start unless there’s another module I’m missing. I’ve also tried turning the key shifting it to drive and back to park but it still won’t start. And each time I try to start it and take the key out it does the clicking and no dash lights come on so I have to disconnect the battery and reconnect them for them to come back on but as soon as I turn the key all the way the same thing happens.
