Ok. 98 Civic, Clifford alarm with remote start. Nothing out of the ordinary prior to this going on. All of a sudden when I turn my key to the on position nothing happens. Well if you just leave it on the on position the cars power comes on, dash lights, radiator fan comes on, etc.. For about a second then turns off again. It does this for as long as the ignition is in the on position.

After playing around with it for a while I find that if I remove a fuse that is at the negative terminal on the battery (which belongs to the alarm) it will stop turning on and off. Well, I disconnect all the wires that connected to the battery and re-connected them, to make sure they were all good. All of a sudden the car starts working fine. And I thought situation over... well

My car hasen't been used for about a month and I go out to start it up today and it dosen't come on.. Battery dead. I hook up jumper cables to it and juice it with another auto. The car is doing the same thing as before but now it only stays on for about half a second and it does it every 2 seconds instead of about 5. I'm thinking that it was doing it even without the key in the on position! I'll have to verify. But now I'm stumped again.

Any suggestions guys? Help would be greatly appreciated.
