Background: compustar 2W900FM-AS in a 97 jeep 4.0L (manual trans). Went in a worked perfectly for 3 days. On the road today, the alarm started going off, and continued once the vehicle was parked. Won't turn off even after taking out key, turning to valet mode, disconnecting battery, etc. I took out the starter fuse and it will stop, but crank right back up when i put the fuse back in. I unplugged the brain and drove around, but I'm stumped as to whats going on. I can think of a messed up brain, blown relay, or crossed wire (though I couldn't see any).

(I'm also out of town for XMAS....great)

You will need to take the system out and see if any part of your triggers are grounding out and make sure that your IGN wire is still getting 12 volts. Look for the obvious like ground, power and trigger's first. Then start looking at other options like programming, sensors & CPU. ( out of 10 times it's a wiring issue or a wire grounding out because of a poor connection or torn connection.
