Battery is good, car cut off three times in one day and restarted twice but had to have it towed home and it won't start at all now. Doesn't even crank.

The battery and alternator are good. Red alarm light blinks rapidly when trying to start. Any ideas on how to bypass or reset alarm?

Thank you!

The red alarm light flashes rapidly when trying to start the car. Disconnected the battery and reconnected but still won't start. Any idea how to reset or bypass alarm?

Thank you!

The PATS system can get complicated it needs a special diagnostic tool. I've look for a reset/bypass unable to sorry-

Possible causes: PATS transciever/computer/PATS key and circuit 461.
