My battery died, I replaced it, then it did not charge, had the alternator tested, had to replace it, the car sat for 5 days with no power. Put the new alternator in have power but the engine will not even attemp to turn over. The alarm goes off when I open the door and I cannot stop it, it goes out after about 5 mins. I checked the fuses for the alternator and they are good. It is a 1997 sable 3.0 Any help would be greatly apprecieated.

Thanks Steve

Go figure this one I got it going by putting the battery cable on in the reverse seuence that I thought they should go on. I had put the negative cable on first. But then as I was reading the manual for the 4th time I saw that the positve cable was suppose to go one first. Did that and it started right up.
