My battery had died while on a week long business trip, I had left the trunk lid unlatched and the trunk lamp ran the battery down. No problem, I'll just pull my other car up next to it and give it a jump!
My problem is when I attach the positive side of the jumper cable to the jumper posts on the engine compartment fuse box and the negative side to the post on the engine block next to the throttle body the alarm goes off after about 15 seconds!!
I tried using the key in the ignition, that doesn't disable the alarm, I tried it in the door lock and that doesn't work either!!
So I disconnect the jumper cables and the alarm dies off. I've tried several combinations of doorlock and ignition settings but I can't seem to jump start the car without setting off the alarm.
How can I jump start my car without pulling the battery out and charging it?
Any suggestions from the board??
thanks
