Had alarm problems for a bit a couple weeks ago, so removed battery and allowed alarm battery to die slowly. Recharged battery overnight last night - Reconnected everything back as it was, all electrics seem fine, but when I try and turn the car over theres only one 'click' from the starter motor and the dashlights go out. As if the immob was cutting in? I've used the (std) alarm fob to lock/unlock doors (so as to immob, and unimmob), but still no joy, wont turn over. Any ideas of what I can do or try? Oh, additional, as once I turn back the key and remove I hear one beep from the alarm siren - it never did this before.

how many go on to the positive? 2, or 3, BEFORE the red screw on top. I seem to remember it was three but im only seeing 2....
