sure it's not a flat battery and just a simple jump start won't fix? Think there's a lot more than 4 plugs that needs to be removed to completely remove the whole dash board, could be wrong never removed a whole dash as of yet

i'll post up pics 2moro when there's light kinda hard 2 take pics in the dark, and it's not a flat battery coz the starter seems 2 be working fine and is there a factory imobiliser on these vehicles?

well i traced all the alarm wires bak again and found the problem and got the car working again it was sum sort of wire with a fuse connected 2 a ground of sum sort and the car started again...is this some kind of immobiliser kinda thing? but i'll have the pic up 2nyt and post the cable i was talking about
