Last weekend I changed the battery in my 96 Chevy Tahoe. The car alarm began going off. In a panic, I cut the wires to the speaker. I‘m concerned that my alarm has been going off for a week (only we can‘t hear it.) The indicator light on the dash is blinking, and now the doors lock immediately after closing.I‘m affraid I‘ve either drained my new battery, or the alarm is preventing me from starting the Tahoe. Initially after putting in the battery, the truck would start. But I haven‘t tried to start it since last weekend until today, and it wouldn‘t start.What should I do.
Since you don't have the remote then just by inserting the key into the ignition it should have started. Or you could have taken the fuse out. Try jumping it or borrow a battery from another vehicle to try starting it. If it starts your good if not then just take out the alarm fuse and for sure its deactivated. or you can just insert key and turn then it should stop and most likey its deactivated aswell until you change batteries again. once its off then your battery should stay charged once it is charged.
It probably is going off, disconnecting a battery with an alarm system is a way theives use so the car wont make sound when they steal it( its a good thing) but the smarter thing was not to cut the wire, you should try to find the fuse for the security system entirely, or take it to a mechanic to see what they can do, and explain the problem as you did here.
