HELP ME!!
In dealing with alarms/starter kill devices, I recommend you taking it to a car audio shop and having them remove it. It sounds like it is defective to me.

ok, cool. do you know of any thing i can do to get car started as it is parked in town centre so i can get it to a specialist??? even if it be temporary
If you arent familiar with the way a starter kill functions, it may be worth a tow truck. If you are I can find out the starter wire color and maybe walk you through bypassing the starter kill relay.
