Light remains on but not blinking. It has been like this for an hour and a half. Won't start. Help please

Toni

Thanks but i just fixed it by opening the hood wiggled battery cables that really did wiggle and pushed hood shut. The light started to blink interior lights when opened door and the remote lock up the car. Did not try to start it. But it will.

Hi,

Just so I am clear, you opened the hood and the light started flashing? When you get in the vehicle and put the key in does the light go out?

It sounds like you got it straightened out but let us know if you still need help.

Yes, after more thinking it might have been both the battery and the alarm because it did the same thing this morning and this evening. But I will get back to if it keeps on because the battery shouldn't be doing that. The cables are tight. I will let you know.

Thanks,
Toni.
