I was buying a light from O'Reilly to change the car light. In order to know the exact name of the model, the horn suddenly rang nearly 10 times a second while I was purchasing the light with the hood open to remove the light. After that, when the vehicle was started, the vehicle operated like a YouTube video, and when the gear was turned on to Drive, the engine was turned off. How do we solve this problem?
The battery is 100% charged and it may be an alternator problem.
But I think it's just a security issue, is there a way to initialize the security system?

I seem to recall there is a trick to it like turning the key on and off 5 times or something, I had my v70 do similar and thats what the tow guy tried before towing me home, of course as soon as I got home it decided to work again ( I think my initial issue may have been a strong wiireless signal swamping the remote for the central locking.
it may be unlock and relock 5 times on the remote.

First, thanks for reply for me. Remote control is not working. Do you mean the key on and off that you mean the on and off that you open the door and lock it in the remote? Or are you saying to start and turn off the engine five times?

I left it at the repair shop using a toy car. The repair shop said there were battery problems, alternator problems, and short circuit problems. I don't know how much it will cost. I hope it will be fixed as soon as possible.
