Possible security system problem
After replacing the radiator in my son's '95 Hyundai Elantra, it won't
start. The dashboard and parking lights flash on and off, but it won't crank. There is a non-factory LED on the far left side of the dashboard and a pushbutton mini-switch down under that, suggesting an alarm system (I bought the car used). Any ideas if this is a security system problem and how I can get the car to crank? |

Turn the ignition on. Then depress the mini-switch that should disable the
alarm. NH "Dat Masterson" wrote in message om... After replacing the radiator in my son's '95 Hyundai Elantra, it won't start. The dashboard and parking lights flash on and off, but it won't crank.

Possible security system problem
Thanks. That worked. The car did crank, but only with the help of a
booster battery. Taking off the booster battery leads, the car died. No matter how long it ran, it died without the other battery. Then the motor started surging from 1000 to 1500 rpm and back. Could this be related to a security system? "ATS" wrote in message ... Turn the ignition on. Then depress the mini-switch that should disable the alarm. NH "Dat Masterson" wrote in message om...

No, that sounds like a charging system problem. The security system may have
killed your battery. If you are not using the alarm, then your best bet is to disconnect it. If it is installed poorly (like 90% of most alarms) you will find the brain next to the steering column.
