My solara is dead?

Wow Im one step ahead of him. I stripped the whole car out today and its no good so far. Update more later. Its not the alarm at all, Its a hot wire that somehow hitted one of the other one and is running your car out making it think there is a close circut somewhere and it wont allow you to start your car. I cant find it yet but Im getting there. Im guessing it is a burtn wire of relay and its surely not under the dash on my car.

If the guy finds out can you tell me? I cant afford to pay anyone to do my car..... :x

is it a toyota dealership? electrical are like 200 to 1000 bucks and up and all they do is look at their cheat sheets and just trace it from there and charge u all this and that extra stuff(no offense to anyoine here okie?). If its a small shop you might get lucky with only 200 to 500 or lower depending. Im going to go by the dealership tommorow and going to ask if I can have a copy of the wire diagram for cheap.

okay just got a call from the dealer just now it seems that I burnt all my wiring harness in the starter,visor, and the alarm area.....everything needs to be taken out and be replaced the car wont start because it burns the fuse everytime it tried to start and the alarm does the same thing :( that's a good 750 bucks :(
