car won’t start after alarm install

I just finished installing the Lynx 2000R into my 94 Mustang and I can not get the car to start. I turn the key to on and everything looks OK, then when I turn it to start I hear a click from under the hood and then when I release the key back to on I hear 2 more clicks. I think it may be a circuit breaker, but not sure. What should I do???

Please HELP... I am so frustrated with this thing!!!!

try to find out the location of the sound of click,mayb its the problem of the relay,check whether got any source at the terminal 30 of the relay,check the output terminal 87

I found the black box in the engine compartment that it is coming from, but I can not get the cover off. I even tried unplugging the alarm and reconnecting all of the original wire together and it still will not start.

have any suggestions...

Thanks for the help!!!

could it be the battery drained down and doesn't have enough voltage to start the car?

Simple solution hopefully. Fords will usually give ya a clicking sound when the battery is low on juice. Check the battery with a DMM, make sure it has atleast 12.6V...should actually be higher, but 12.6 minimum for it to start. If it has 12.6+V and still won't start, check all your connections from the battery to the starter make sure they are tight and free of grease and grime. If that's all good, your starter solenoid went out. $15-40 at the local car parts store. To test the solenoid is a b#tch, but can be done. First find the solenoid. Follow the positive battery cable from the battery to this weird looking contraption. It has two posts ( well actually three ). One is battery input, one is output. Basically this thing is a relay. there will be another wire ( about 14 AWG I believe ) on the solenoid as well. This is the wire that opens the output up when you go to start. This is where either another person comes in...Or a long piece of wire comes in. Basically you gotta test the output of the solenoid to see if it's putting out the voltage to the starter. If it's not, that's the problem. My experience with fords is this. If it acts like it's going to start, and clicks instead of cranks..it's that d@mn solenoid. You probably didn't do anything, those solenoids, will just go out for no reason, especially since it's factory, and probably 10 years old. Hope this helped ya.

Doesn't sound like an alarm issuse because that alarm wouldn't even let the engine attempt to crank. I would check that battery. Its not uncommon to drain a battery when doing an alarm install because the door, and trunk are open constantly.

Don't feel bad, we all do it every once in awhile, just be glad it didn't happen in the shop, we'd never let you live it down.
