Re: alarm and the fuel pump

I am not up to speed on how the alarm system works but is is possible that someone banging on the car with a big mauler might just be one of the things that would set it off

Hope this helps...

Re: alarm and the fuel pump

Where are you banging on the bottom of the car at specifically? Maybe you have a loose starter wire. I would definately check the connection to your starter all the way to the battery and solenoid.

Re: alarm and the fuel pump

hmm, thanks for the advice but im starting to think its the ground wire to the fuel pump cause i can hear it sometime but sometimes not... and when it starts it starts up but then just dies like if some one ran off with all the gas :/

but if it was the ground wire to the fuel pump would it do that?(like if the ground had a bad connection)
