wont start

El Supracabras · 05-10-2011, 12:45 PM

Does the car have an aftermarket alarm? The "lights blinking and ticking almost like a blinker" could be an alarm going off (siren is missing or inop). Do the outside lights blink as well? The "no start" could also be the starter cut out feature of an alarm. Look for a valet switch under the dash somewhere or turn the key to the on position before connecting the battery and then try starting it.
It may not be your problem but its worth checking out as many cars have or have had aftermarket alarms (poorly) installed. Good luck.
