    Default 4-way flashers come on w/flashing red alarm light

    What's up here. Is it the remote that is causing the car to become berserk? The four ways come on and the alarm flasher red thing goes nuts until I put the key in and turn it.

    What year is the car? If it is 7-8 years old, you may be having an alarm module going out. At that age, either the alarm's backup battery is dead or it has leaked electrolyte and damaged the circuit board. Try pulling fuse #38 (can someone confirm this as the correct one?) to disable the alarm system and see if that does the trick.

    Good luck,
