I've disconnected the battery for thirty minutes and tried to hook it back up and the alarm went off again. So, I got in the car and inserted the key in the ignition to shut off the alarm. I finished tighten up the battery hook up and removed the key and locked up the car and waited thirty more minutes and unlocked the car with the key and tried to start it and it still would not start. What did I do wrong?

Hello, I'm Danny.

Here is something to try first. I'm attaching an anti-theft reset tutorial below.

Usually your symptoms happen when disconnect/removal of car battery happens. Hope this helps and thanks for using 2CarPros.
