start up problem

[kuzya]

Thank you in advance for any help!
Just bought a second hand car Fiat Barchetta, 1995. This is my first car , so I do not have too much experience. The problem which I got is that i can't start the engine, and also can't switch off the alarm. First what happened is when I've tried to start the car - it didn't work and i find out that the dashboard indicators seems to be lighting weakly, also the light in the car was almost dead. I thought it is the battery problem and charged it with the help of another one. It seemed to work with the lights but when i've tried to start the car, the alarm was switched on immediately and I couldn't switch it off with the help of remote. I've tried to look for manuals and find out that is could be that car has to be started with emergency start with the help of CODE. I didn't get any CODE from previous owner tried to call him- but he didn't even heard about this problem before and about any CODE (Maybe the factory alarm system was replaced but i have no idea how to check that and how to switch it off while battery works). Now the alarm gone, but the battery fully recharged- no any lights or out the cars seems to work.

If anyone know what could be the problem and how to repair it I would be very thankful for that!

The behaviour you described initially means that, in my experience at least, the car is immobilsed.

Is the battery in the remote for the alarm full? It might be that the remote could not turn off the alarm because the remote was out of batteries. Try changing the battery in the remote and see if that helps.

If the remote battery is full then get the alarm removed as I'm assuming the alarm has a built in immobilser. Some car audio shops offer alarm fitting services. There is no reason why they wouldn't be able to remove the alarm.

By the way, I didn't understand your last sentance:

"Now the alarm gone, but the battery fully recharged- no any lights or out the cars seems to work."

Did you get the alarm removed already and are none of the lights on the car working even with a fully recharged battery? This sounds like it might be a disconnected earth or "loose mains" which failed to get reconnected when the alarm was removed however, the battery may now be faulty from the recharging? You might want to try a new battery.
