does anyone know if a low car battery will cause the alarm on the car to go off?
car battery was dead for at least 12 hours. I jumped the car and drove it for about 30 minutes. Then I went to sleep and woke up around 4 hours later due to neighbor calling me that my car alarm was going off. The alarm sequence had already finished and my headlights were still on so maybe about 15-20 minutes. I tried to unlock and lock my car from inside the house, but it was not responding to my key fob. I had to go out and unlock the door manually while the alarm indicator on the dash was blinking repeatedly. after I went inside, the alarm went off again after about 30 minutes to an hour, car again not responding to key fob. It was 5AM so I just disconnected my negative terminal to not disturb anyone.
I unplugged my hardwired dash and floor lights after my jumpstart. Had them for about a year with no noticeable battery issues.
I’m wondering if maybe my car alarm went off the night before and the headlights staying on killed the battery the very first time. Also read about unaligned hood latch sensors, which I’ll check later since I did open my hood about 5 days ago.
Does anyone have any insight? Thank you.
