I may be wrong but it sounds like your alarm is the problem. This happened to my brother's van(Astro). The built-in cutoff switch in his alarm was preventing the van from starting. It may be possible to disconnect the alarm system and try to start it. That's what my brother did and it worked.

Why does the alarm on a Mitsubishi Outlander keep setting itself off for no reason?
It could be that the battery in the remote is low. Replace the battery first. If that does not fix the problem, take it to a shop that repairs car alarms. Many have been fixed just by replacing the battery. Prior to the battery going completely out, it will cause the alarm to misread.

What can i do - alarm keeps going off when i turn ignition key?
If your alarm goes off while you turn your ignition key this could be signaling a problem with the vehicle's power. Have your battery tested to ensure that it has enough juice to power your vehicle. You may then want to look for corrosion on the battery posts or battery cable ends.

I just had this happen on my F250. The manual says problem with the electical charging system. I went ahead and drove it until the power production completely failed. I am going to change my alternator but it could possible be the voltage regulator.

How do you deactivate the alarm system of a 1990 Toyota Celica without possessing the the remote while the alarm is sounding?
You have to turn the keys into the ignition on the vehicle. That's how i found out to stop it. It is due to your battery sending different voltage to the car which sents off the alarm. I never tried this though there is a little switch that flips to the left and the right close to the battery. It has wired leading to the battery so it could possible kill the alarm. Oh and if your alarm is going off that means your battery is either busted or if its new that means your alternator is. That's how i fixed mine.

What causes your battery to die when the battery and alternator are new?
Something is usually on that you don't know about like an alarm could be draining the battery. However, If its not starting you should check the starter though. It will make you think the battery is bone dead.
