99 Audi A4 starter issues
Ok here's what happened...
I went to open my passenger door to get something and my alarm started going off.
I had not even set my alarm either.
I then proceeded to get in and turn the ignition on and then off which turned off the alarm, then I turned it on and the alarm started again.
I was not able to turn it off with the key because it was in the ignition and I had to keep it there because my ignition had broke and I've been starting my car with a screw driver, so the key was there to keep my steering wheel and park lock from locking until I could replace the ignition.
Anyways, I then proceeded to pop the hood and disconnect the negative cable from the battery and then reconnect it.
The alarm was then off and when I tried to start it everything lit up but it would not start.
I assumed my starter was locked up, which had happened a couple times before.
Is it possible that my security system disabled it?
If so, is there a way to bypass this?
Such as wiring the solenoid to the battery or what?
I know this sounds crazy but this car has done some weird things before.
I appreciate any info that can be given, my car is now stranded an hour and a half away from me and I don't want to get it towed if I can resolve the issue from where it is.
