What should I do if my car will not start, the battery clicks but then the alarm goes off and it does not start?

You may have a short in your wires. they may be crossing bare connection in the wiring. Also batteries do not click. You may be hearing your starter trying to engague to crank the engine. So buying a ohms meter and testing your starter will help you locate the problem.

That sounds like you have some type alarm issue. Like the immobilizer is cutting in. Something has failed making the car think it is being stolen. Consult a dealer or look online to see if other people have had this problem.

The cars immobilizer is not deactivating. This can be caused by a faulty transmitter, check the manual for instructions to disarm it.

You need to get the car checked out for a possible lose wiring somewhere within your wiring system. If this is not the problem it does have something to do with your battery.
