This afternoon I went to start my truck and when I went to turn it over the alarm just started blaring. I tried a couple more times only to get the same result. This is the third time this is happened to me, so I wanted to see what you guys thought. The battery isn't dead because the radio, lights, A/C, and door locks all still work, and my voltage gage reads in the middle of a quarter and a half. The last time it happened I jumped it and it started right up, but what could be causing the problem? I have a relatively new Optima Yellow Top so I don't think it's the battery. Any ideas?
Not that I know of, unless it came from the dealer... My dad bought it new it 2004 and then gave it to me when I turned 16.
Nope, it doesn't even click, the alarm just goes off. Which kind of makes me think it could be starter. But that doesn't explain why it would start with a jump...
Im thinking it has to do with a security failsafe. You could try unplugging the battery for a while so that itd reset the computer in the truck
Yeah, I've heard that, but what would cause that, and is there any way to actually confirm if that's it?
could be something stupid that triggered one of the alarm sensors, id try unpluggin it an it should fix it. Some guy slammed his door to hard one time and i guess it triggered one of the glass break or G something sensors and had a similar problem.
