Hi guys, I came back from a 5 week holiday and found my car battery flat. After I jump started it the alarm just kept going off. That's the first time something like this happened and I wasn't even aware that my car (Mazda Protege 323 2003) had an alarm installed). It turned out that the battery had to be replaced. I was hoping the alarm would stop after I install a new battery, but that didn't happen. I located a little speaker under the hood and unplugged a wire to it. That stopped the alarm going off but not the emergency lights. Any ideas how I can fix the problem with the emergency lights? Your help would be much appreciated. Cheers!

Hello there ThreeD, Johnny

I wonder if we had the same dealership? If you are still having the start up problem, I have several solutions.

To Disable the Starter Kill:
( Tools: flashlight, wire stripper, Jumper wire w/alligator clips)

• The most common intersect point is at the base of the steering column. Slide the seat back, tilt the wheel up and contort your way down there.
• You should find two wires, usually the same color that look like an afterthought. One comes from up the column, the other, from the firewall. Where they go in the same direction, they are going to the alarm module.
• The alarm module is usually under the center console. You don't need to dig it out, only confirm the two wires go to the module.
• When confirmed, choose a spot where the wires are close together and strip about 1/8 inch of insulation from each.
  
• To kill the Starter Kill: Use the alligator clip wire to connect the two wires.
• Now try to start the engine.

• When engaged, the starter kill interrupts the power going to the solenoid.
• When disengaged, it allows power to the solenoid.
• The relay the accomplishes this is sometimes not up to the task, resulting in scorched contacts.
  
• Bottom line, the interrupt state never ends.
• The jumper you attached takes the place of the damaged relay to the extent of allowing power to the solenoid

you need to go to an alarm installer and have them disarm the alarm. If you try to disarm yourself, you could possibly damage computer configurations.

Hello, this to me sounds like your fan belt slipping (not timing belt). To adjust the fan belt you need to undo your bolt on the alternator, pull it tight onto the fan belt and while holding it tight do the bolt back up tightly. this will stop yoour fan belt from slipping. I hope this helps.
