A month or so ago I got several frantic texts from my neighbor while I was out of town. My 1997 LX450 was in the garage going ape. Horn beeping, lights flashing, etc. It wasn't long before I got several similar call from the local police department. The only set of keys was locked inside and the security system was engaged.
Eventually, the horn burned up, the battery died, and the neighborhood was able to get some rest.
I got the door unlocked, battery charged, and rig started.
Anytime the driver's door is shut or the door shut switch/sensor on the side post is depressed then there is an audible blinking switching sound coming from somewhere around the firewall. The red security light flashes in synch with this noise. I'm assuming the horn would be beeping if it weren't fried.
It will not start when this is going on (turns over, sounds like hell). If I hold the driver's door open it starts fine.
How do I make it stop this nonsense?
I have tried various forms of disconnecting the batter and security box under the driver's seat with no luck.
Any suggestions?
