This is for a buddy of mine I work with. He bought a beater 02 Dodge Stratus RT. Everything runs fine except some alarm issues. Car will be off for hours and all of a sudden the horn will come on and stay on until you remove a battery terminal. Even after letting it sit for a few minutes its a crap shoot on whether it will still be going off when reconnecting. Not the only issue though. It has another draw because every now and then it will drain the battery over night.
Now the car won't even start. It drained a battery over night. He charged it the next day and tried to turn it over. The car just cranks over and over. I haven't heard it but it sounds like the alarm needs to be reset or something along those terms.
I have never installed an alarm on a car so all of this is new territory to me. The guy doesn't have a lot of money so I am trying to help him so he doesn't resort to paying someone to do it. Any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks
