Hello all,I'm new on this forum.

I have an AP1 (2000) s2000 since october 2016 and getting it in shape for this summer.
Now i sometimes have a problem with starting. Sometimes it does start and sometimes it doesn't. It was for now on a week ago it happened but now he won't start again. I have to try it over 100 times and maybe at the 5th or 10th or 100th time trying to start it will start. but this isn't the solution and it ruins my battery.
First I thought it's the starter but i checked it and it works fine. Now I see that after a week I have a flat battery.. so maybe it's a broken battery?
I still think it's the alarm. Sometimes it's going on loud when I want to start my car. Sometimes my car doesn't react on my Fob.
Friends of mine told me to get the alarm away but is it that simple just to remove the whole alarm system starting and the sirene and pulling all wires and stuff out?
Somebody else just said to me 'pull your alarmfuse out, you won't get an elektronic leak from your alarm then and it won't go off AND change your battery and check cables from battery to starter and from battery to vehicle"


What do you guys think? somebody had the same problem?
I searched so many times on the net and on this forum but couldn't find any usefull information. I hope somebody can help me. I hate this to get into your car and he doesn't start. I don't have any trust in my S2000 for now if i go somewhere. I'm scared to turn it off and then to jumpstart it again (if traffic allows). For example: friends, fuelpump, trafficlights, work, store, ...

 

Change the battery first. That's usually the cause of problems with the alarm.

 

And if that doesn't work as well? Can I just remove my alarmfuse under my dash and the alarm will be out of function?

 

I'm afraid I don't know. Just out of interest, is your car from the UK? (I know a few over there are).

Disabling the alarm is pretty complicated. You would be best off taking it to an alarm specialist.

 

Generally speaking, no. Most alarms include a starter interrupt circuit. To bypass the alarm, you'll need to disable that circuit if you want the car to work. In other words, someone that knows what they're doing needs to remove the alarm.
