Does car alarm shut off ignition, on a Lexus ES 300?
My son’s car needed a jump, he left the lights on his 1995 Lexus 300ES. As I hooked up the cables the alarm went off Because the keys weren’t in the ignition, I think. I removed the cables and it stopped, inserted the key, and jumped it again. When we tried to start the car, everything worked (radio, headlights, etc.) but the ignition would not. If it is the alarm preventing it from starting, what is the cure? A: if it has an alarm hook up the cables so the alarm goes off then deactivate it with the remote. if you dont have the remote then you need to take it to an alarm shop and get a remote programmed for it if they cant they will have to remove the alarm and you will need to get an aftermarket alarm for it but yea it wont start because the alarm was on. when you try to jump a car with an alarm even if you have the keys in the ignition the alarm will go off its a fail safe so noone can jump your car to hotwire it. but just do as i said jump it and disactivate the alarm with remote an
