Alarm/Battery Problems? Or..

Hey guys..
one day I just wanted to move my car so my bro can garage his (Damnit! i want the garage), i turned the key and there wouldnt be any power at all to the car! no light, the tach, the doors didnt even unlock!!
Then the alarm goes bizzerk and wont turn off w/ the button. Well the alarm went off itself after a few min. I jump start the car..went for a long cruise and there wertn any problems anymore

well the next morning I tried to turn it on but the same exact problem, this time i disconnect the battery take off the alarm and jump start it again....i wait around 3 hours to turn it back on and it goes on good! when i stop by to get food, right before i turn off the car, the ABS light keeps goin on and off, and then everything starts blinking!

I turn off the car, then try to turn it on..and now im back to the original problem..no POWER....and now the Backup battery for the ALARM goes off..and everyone in the shoping center is looking towards me under the dash finding where to unplug the backup...
The power MAGICALLY comes back .. So i drive home w/ the alarm going crazy...go home, and disconnect the backup battery.... The power is still on but who knows if itl go back off or waht the f- .. i dont know if its the battery or what...pisses me off tho!! heheh


-My latest install on the car were the Fog Lights, and that was nearly 2-3 weeks ago, and I hadn't had any problems prior to this.

yeah it sounds like your alarm, it could be that your batt is not very good and thus is messing with the alarm, check you batt and then check all the wires on your alarm (including ground) make sure nothing has come undone...

Well, minus the alarm problem (because I don't have one), I had a similar problem recently and it was just a loose battery clamp. I had disconnected the battery and forgot to retighten them. Did you disconnect the battery when you wired up the fog lights and forget to retighten the clamps?

the postive wasnt as tight as I thought it was...I tightned it, and its working good so far. I still havent connected back the alarm, I'm gona give it a day before I do just incase, but im pretty sure it was because of the pos clamp

Thanks for the help
