electrical help......plz

alright heres the deal, i have the factory alarm system, and its has gone hay wire on me, the starter cut relay is somehow getting engergized and killing my starter not only that but it seem like it kills the power to the entire car, as in i cant use any accessorys, and when i put the key in and turn it to the on postion i can hear a relay click on the pass side of the car and on the drivers side of the car, now i have searched and i came up with the wire diagram for the starter cut relay but the post said it was located o nthe drivers side by the fuse box and i have spent hours upside down in the car looking for the relay on that side and have come up empty handed. i was wondering if there is some way i can jump the entire alarm system, or total remove it. i have tryed just unpluging the control unit for the alarm but it still does the same thing i am at a stand still with this so any help would be awsome..

thanks-
joe

The factory alarm does not kill anything but the starter.

So if other things in the car are not working, you have either a bad battery or bad battery connections.

Which would cause the factory alarm not to work right.

But it can't kill anything but the starter.

Starter Cut Relay is in the engine bay near the Trail Coil and the Main Relay.

I think the Theft Unit is mounted to the passengers speaker just below the glove box. Why not just remove the plug off the Theft Unit?

the reason i was leaning to the alarm is the fact that my alarm light goes crazy even with the door shut, but i discovered the starter relay and it has a jumper plug on it form the factory, so is it possible that considering i have no power when the key is in teh acc or on postion could it be the main relay??
