ok i have a weird one - TL standard motor etc
I parked on an incline, nose up.
Alarm went off once. I stopped it with remote.
Goes off again about 15min later. I decide to move it to flatter ground.
WON'T start. Not even a click. Lights, windows, radio work fine. Error Code on Oddometer "S"
It won't jump start either. Road side assistance turned up, cannot jump start. Best it would do is a slight noise from motor, but no go. Battery tested and is fine. Says it's the starter motor.
Questions:
Could the alarm have gone off because of the incline? Could this have immobilised car? Or does it become mobilised once key is in?
Could the alarm have gone off due to lower voltage in battery?
Why did the alarm go off when there was a starter motor problem?
