the system might be a clifford.
what you have to do is unplug the fuses near the battery of the car then plug them back in.

what would have happened to a fuse when the power died . that doesn't make sense . this happened once before and the guy at the place that installed it  did some combination with the keychain the gas pedal and the ignition . i wish i had watch him more closely . he didn't go under the hood or near the fuse box under the dash

most likely the tach rate was erased from the alarm when your battery died...... you need the alarm's manual to know the procedure on how to reprogram the tach sense....you say the brain has no brandname on it...take a picture and post it, someone may know what alarm it is by looking at it and tell you how to fix the problem

if it was a clifford system. for some reason the brain locks up when you jump the car from a dead battery. then you have to manually reset the system by pulling out the fuse.

Bleedsoe, I don't recognize that particular unit, but pictures are always good!

After your battery died, you must have had to jump-start the car, right? Often, fuses in the car will blow during a jump start---I'm still not sure if this is from someone connecting the jumper cables backward, or for some other reason---but at any rate, it does happen sometimes.

If you follow that wiring, it's gotta have fuses on it somewhere. They may be under the dash, or near the battery----it can never hurt to check them.

It is also a wise idea to somehow interrupt power from the unit for a few moments, and then reconnect it and see what happens. You can do this by disconnecting the fuses as nighthawk said, or unplug the wires going to the brain. You can also just disconnect your car's battery, but that's no fun because you lose your clock and radio presets.

If the installer has installed a hood pinswitch for safety, there is also the very small chance you disturbed it while getting the car jump-started. Make sure it looks like it's in good shape, and that it is getting pushed down when you close the hood.

i don't think its a fuse , the door locks are working it just won't start . my problem is the first owner of the car had this unit installed so i have no manual on how to reprogram it . the same thing happen last summer and i took it to apple autoglass (the original installers) he was able to reprogram it without going near a fuse which cost me $50 . i don't want to take it back unless i have too . if anyone regonizes this starter let me know .

Check 2 make sure the hood pin switch has not been damaged. I had that problem with a customer that had engine work done. If its damaged, it will not start at all. U did not specify if you got a visual confirmation of some sort when u tried to activate it.That would help.

it doesn't have a hood pin switch safety device . i got the locks to work by turning the key one notch pushing button one on the keychain and pumpng the brake , i tried the same thing for button 2 on the keychain but it doesn't seem to work . when i push button one the doors lock and the black box under the dash clicks twice , when i click button two no sounds come from the black box
