I tried jump start and the security alarm starts and cannot start the car.
It seems some electrical leakage. How do I resolve this

Hi there,

You will have to get a current draw test on the electrical system as this will show any open circuit that is draining your battery, don't forget to test the alternator as well as a faulty diode can back drain the battery as well.
