Touched Battary and Engine can not start, keep horning

Hi, everyone



Yesterday i tried to clean the corrosion of my battery on my 1995 Toyota camry. I just unscrewed left terminals, and saw some little sparks and i scared and screwed it back. Then weird thing happened. Whenever I open the door the car will start barking and never stop, and there's small red light on the left side of the wheel, and it keeps flashing. What's worse is the engine can not start, but the radio can turn on. Can anyone help me? Thanks



Best wishes

Does this car have an aftermarket alarm system? If so, it may need to be reset after disconnecting the battery.

That sounds exactly like my aftermarket alarm. If you don't have the little clicker to turn of the alarm, you should be able to reach down by the hood release and push a button while turning the car on to turn off the alarm. The button my not be in the same place as mine but it should be around the underside of the dash someplace.

^ +3 on that. Also... horning is the best verb ever.

Agreed. If it's not a real word it should be. Some usages might be....



"My neighbors #@^! car alarm keeps horning all the time."



"The guy pulled out right in front of me, so I horned him."
