I let my car sit for the past 11 days and left my glove box open which I think is what killed my battery. When I try to jump start it the alarm sounds and I cannot shut it off, and I think this is why I can't jump it.. There was a switch under the dash on the drivers side which I was told was some sort of kill switch for the alarm, the problem is I slammed that switch in the door a couple years ago and lost it. Is this switch necessary for me to jump my car, or could my battery be almost dead in my remote which lights up when I hit the switch but lights dimly, I haven't used it in over 2 years. The car is a 96 Dodge Stratus, and the alarm is a Viper, unknown model but was installed in 97. Thanks in advance.

- Battery is probably dead in the remote
- Instead of jumping it.... charge it. Once the battery is fully charged, then you can go about getting the alarm to work.

Thanks you two, I got new batteries for remote but car won't turn over. I think I will get a new battery for the car, that one is about 5 years old now it may be time!
