Pilot Won't Start - Click HERE for Original Thread
cojackpilot
Help please. I forgot to turn the Hazard lights off in the morning, when i tried starting my pilot later in the day, the pilot won't start. I tried jumpstarting the battery but still nothing happened. I'm hearing a constant muted horn like sound on the side of the engine area where the main fuse was installed, and when i tried removing the horn relay fuse the sound changed to a clicking sound. Anybody here know anything about this? I would greatly appreciate any help i can get. thanks

Try better jumper cables or getting the battery charged.
How long did you wait after hooking up the cables before trying to start the Pilot?

Just a few minutes the moment i knew it wasn't starting.

Here's just what happened. The constant muted horn like sound that i was referring to earlier was actually the security alarm. when i went back to the parking lot to reconnect the battery cables. The horn sounded as if it was in "panic mode" but the battery is probably drained because the horn goes back to a muted sound after a few seconds. My question is there another way to turn off the security alarm? What i usually do when the alarm goes off is press the unlock button on the remote, I tried to do it several times already but it didn't work.

Thanks for the prompt response by the way.

Either take the battery out or disconnect it to charge it to the point where things work, or get a new battery.

You might have luck just putting the jumper cables on and waiting a few minutes for the battery to get some charge.

You can put your master key into the driver door and unlock it manually to disable the alarm.

For the battery...Follow input from N_Jay posted. Make sure you're getting good connection on those cables and the power is coming from a good source.
