Exclamation can someone figure this out?!?

I REALLY have no idea what's going on with my car.... everytime i turn it on, the headlights keep turning on and off! Also, my alarm is going off constantly. This is a problem because my battery is drained by the end of one day. I have a 1991 toyota supra with a 7mgte motor (turbo of course). (my blinker arm is a little messed up too, it might have something to do with the headlights.)

it happens only when you start the car? weird... have you tried to reset the alarm? lock the doors to arm the alarm and then put the key in the lock, then unlock it turning it all the way to the right, this should disarm it... i dunno if that will solve your problem but its worth a try

try disconecting your negative battery port and checking all fuses. if that doesn't then try checking out your wiring. u'll need a test light.

Default there's one more thing!

Also, on the battery, there is three postive wires branching off, and then there is one negative cord that connects to the battery, and branches off to the body on the inside of the hood... I don't know if this is factory, but it sure confused the hell out of me! I'll be able to take some pictures in the next couple of weeks...

3 wires off the + is probably not factory because i had the same thing and it was for a shity alarm rig and i just took one wire off.

i honestly don't know, but i'll have to look into it. We bought it used, of course, and it wasn't till the beginning of last year it started to go off. It was totally random. As far as i know, the engine is totally stock... i'll check the alarm system anyways. It's really making me frustrated!!!

I would definitely think it's the Toyota theft deterent. I assume when you start the car in the morning it goes off. To disarm, turn key twice to the right. Should shut down alarm. So many people have problems with those alarms. I wish I knew how to disable the whole damn thing. One thing I'm curious about though. Usually you can't drive the car till you disarm the alarm. How are you getting it to drive?

We could start the car, but it was like the horn and headlights were cursed or something. The blinker arm on my steering column could certainly be the cause of the headlights. But, the car would still go down the road. There's a guy in town who only works on rice burnin cars, and i'd take it to him, but i know it's gonna cost out the ASS!!!!!
