alarm ticking

[tek1792]

so i have evrything in my car accept but the horns. so as i decide that to try and start the car and nothing. i get a ticking noise out of the fuse box infront of the drivers side. when i try to turn the car on it turns into a ding. i call the local nissan dealer and they said it sounded like a security king thing. i was wondering if i could bypass this somehow or if there are any sloutions to the problem.

what the f*** are you talking about?

240sx doesn't come with an alarm from the factory.

What brand alarm was installed aftermarket and where was it installed?

disconnect your battery for 5 minutes, then plug it back in and that should reset the alarm and your car will start up...this is common with s*** aftermarket alarms, and im in the process of ripping mine out

Yup, cheap alarm, uninstall that junky junk

Most (not all) aftermarket security systems actually power up in an alarmed state which means that if you disconnect the battery and then reconnect it, the alarm will trigger causing the parking lights to flash and siren to sound. I'm only guessing but it sounds like your siren has been removed or cut and the battery is dead but has enough power to power the security system so the relay clicking is the parking light relay "flashing" and when you turn the key to start the car, every ounce of power is being sucked out of the battery in an attempt to start the car so in effect, power is being removed from the alarm. When you stop trying to start the car, there is enough power to energize the alarm and it wakes up in an alarmed state which makes the relay clicking sound because the brain is flashing the parking lights. Most alarms have two main fuses near the brain. The lower rated fuse (5A) is usually the main power. Remove the fuse and see if the clicking stops. The car still may not start if the battery is dead.

Are you talking about the bell in the shift lock unit below the driver dash? its a green box and you could tear into it and remove it but i believe it dings when you have the key in your car and it is all the way ccw.
