Alright me again, I gave up on the above car thinking it was sold but it’s still sitting in the sellers drive. I’m inclined to think that the siren module may have crapped out and that he has got a parasitic battery draw from same. I’ve got vida/dice on hand. Does anyone know if it will provide any decent info assuming I can hook up my battery to his vehicle to get some codes read?

Also trying to think this through. I don’t think that a faulty alarm module would prevent car from starting would it? It might drain the battery but I’m thinking that putting a second battery in should allow the car to start, am I right?

On the other hand if it was a bad imobilzer ring would turning the key allow the engine to at least turn over or would there be nothing except maybe dash lights? Anyone experience anything similar?
