    Hi All
    I had a problem with parasitic drain from the battery. I my attempt to find it I disconnected the starter, alternator and checked for draw. I removed the complete interior, 1 to clean the carpets and 2 looking for the battery drain. I identified the problem being the electric heater matrix inside the car and disconnected it.
    I had to replace the battery, which I did.
    When I tried to start the car I couldn’t get the ignition to come on. (Push start), I tried the emergency key, but still nothing.
    I have tested (about 4 times) every fuse and relay in the car and even tried reconnecting the heater on the off chance it was that.
    Now every time I hook-up the battery the alarm sounds and I can’t switch it off using the key.
    Any help would be gratefully received.
    Thanks
    Eifion

    Well, as I understand it, the problem is with the alarm that is in the car, then in order to suggest something, you need to understand what kind of alarm is installed in the car. if the car has a factory alarm, then the car needs to be delivered only to a specialized service station, if a third-party alarm is retrofitted to the car, then you just need to turn it off, perhaps problems with battery discharge were associated with the alarm.
