have a 2000 HyundaI Elantra that I bought used, it has an aftermarket anti theft system with the red dot on the dash. Every once in a while for unknown reasons the alarm would set off and I would have to flick a switch attached to wires in the fuse box, as i turned the ignition. This would happen not very often, but when it did it would repeat quite a few times usually. Anyway, 2 days ago I trued to start the car and realized anti theft was activitated I atttempted to turn the switch and the switch broke came off of the 2 wires it was attached to. I was able to start the car by rubbing the two wires together a certain way. I went home and found a fuse in the box under the hood for the burglar alarm which seemed to fix the problem until i realized now the radio did not work, nor did the interior lights. Any suggestions on how to disable the anti theft system?
Take the car to a qualified auto stereo and alarm shop and have the 3#$%$ removed. As a service tech Nothing upsets me more than to have a car alarm go off while I have my head under the hood #$%$#!!!! Who ever installed the alarm did a half A## job.
Try a club. My grandmother has one but I have heard it is not a guarantee that your car will not get stolen/broken into, however buying a club is a cheap alternative to installing an alarm system.
