Try disconnecting your factory alarm system. Sounds to me like your alarm ignition killswitch is keeping it from starting. The high beams are what flash when the factory alarm is triggered, and I'd be willing to wager your horn doesn't work. The factory alarm unit is in the passenger floorboard above the ECU and to the right.

Reference this thread: how-to-disable-oem-alarm-w-o-taking-out ... 01562.html

Good luck and report back what you find!
