2002 Toyota Camry LE - Security System & Electrical System?

I just bought a 2002 Camry next to 77,000 miles. We had to jump-start it because the engine wouldn't turn over. The instrument panel preventive lights would come on, but the starting motor wouldn't run at all.

But when we connected the pullover cables, strange things happen. First the burglar alarm went rotten (i.e., the car beep repeatedly). Then, after we pushed buttons on the remote control until the beeping stopped, near was a slight buzzing and a blinking frothy on the instrument panel for a while.

And the car didn't start hastily. We disconnected and reconnected the cables (and suffered through the above process) a little times before the starting motor finally approved to work. It drove home OK, but I'm not sure what to do next.

Will a unsullied battery solve this? Or have the alarm system gone nuts? Should I take it to a mechanic? Or to a Toyota provider?
Looking for some expert opinion. Thanks.


Answers:    SOUNDS LIKE THE BATTERY.

YOU SHOULD GET THE VEHICLES COMPUTER SCANNED AND CHECK FOR ANY PROBLEMS AS WELL AS CODES AND THEN YOU WILL HAVE A GOOD IDEA ON WHAT THE PROBLEM TRULY IS.

TRY FINDING AN INDEPENDENT SHOP INSTEAD OF THE DEALER OR A CHAIN STORE BECAUSE YOU WILL BE OVERALL MORE PLEASED WITH THE FINDINGS AND THE SERVICE.

LEAVE IT THERE WITH THEM SO THAT THEY CAN FIND THE PROBLEM FOR YOU, IT WILL BE A LOT BETTER THAN JUST REPLACING PART AFTER PART AND NOT DOING ANY GOOD.
the starter is doomed to failure, and a new freestyle and cables are needed, mostly a ground cable because that will cause adjectives the things you mentioned
your best bet is to take it to a reputable mech. and hold them check it out-you will be money ahead rather than chase electrical problems yourself- i've repaired copious autos after
the owner spent many dollars trying to fix it themselves-only to find something cheap that cause the problem to start with.
