well, I took the whole center console out and found a LOT of aftermarket/horrible looking wires. I found a huge, roughly foot long bundle of wires wrappd in electrical tape with a switch protruding out. So, i flipped the switch and apparently that had something to do with the alarm, because it started going off (car was off with the drivers door open). So now the trick is going to be getting that bundle of wires and all the other spliced/aftermarket CRAP out of there. So, as of now I've got the whole center console out as well as the dvd/tv/retarded device that was stuck in there. I just gotta keep getting out as much aftermarket stuff as possible; I havent gotten too far with that unfortunatly because I spent most of the day getting the car scanned (i found out the check engine code is for the left side knock sensor-code 52). I will definatly check the PSP, although I'm not sure it's that because when running the car charges the battery fine-i'll double check anyway. And do you guys think it could be the starter? I'm not trying to discredit "Sc dRifta" at all but I dont want to go and buy a new starter without being able to confirm that the starter might be the problem. Plus, it starts every time...? Well I will keep you all informed, thanks again for all the help-it's really helpful being that I'm have a tight budget.
