Welcome to JustAnswer.com

Is your car turning over ?

Do you get ignition lights on dash ?

Do you have a remote for the alarm

Thanks

Mick

what do you mean by turning over? when i tried to start the car, there was no normal ignition sounds... if that is what you mean. the hazard lights are flashing and clock and lights work. no i dont have a remote for the alarm. (i did not even know the car had any sort of alarm because i never pu one in)
