Talking pls help-fd is going crazy(wont start)maybe possesed

hi guys pls help
well let me tell u everything exactly how it went down.
about a week ago my parking lights blew so i changed the fuse
friday night i go to pick up my girl and shut the car down.
she gets in and it wont start i mean it clicked i thought the alarm
armed so i tried to disarm after a minute it turned on.
saturday morning is cruise day with fellow supra,vipers,corvettes.etc.
so i take the car out the garage with no problem.go out to get gas
i notice parking lights are not working.so i shut car off and check fuse its
blown.i replace and lights wont work.i said f*** it oh well my boy in his supra is waiting for me so i taught i would fix it later.i go to turn the car on and it wouldnt even crank it just click.i said damn alarm now the alarm wouldnt respond to the controller. so i get pissed and pull out the viper alarm about a minute later its starts.so we get on the highway
and then im doing about 70 m.p.h and car shuts down i mean everything died.i coast to 15mph and i hear car trying to start.as i pulling over. i get out with my boys supra behind me.and the car wont drv but the car is trying to start. so we disconnect the battery.tried reconnecting the battery and it tried to start with the key in the ignition
but not turning the key.so i got pissed and towed the car to my house.
later i talked to a local area rotorhead he told me it was the starter it wasnt disengaging. he advised me to bang the starter.i did and nutthin.
my friend turned the parking lights on.
and the car tried to crank(turn on)
oh yeah i had the key in my hand
what can it be do i need a priest or a mechanic
pls help
i taught it was the:
1 viper alarm
2 starter
3 stock alarm
4 ignition
5 electrical problems
sorry for long post

Definetely sound like the starter isnt disengaging but its a matter of finding the source of the electrical problem. It can get very expensive to find the source of electrical problems, and very timely.

Did this problem pop up recently?
It really sounds like the alarm install messed something up - maybe something came loose?&nbsp Your experience is uncommon, therefore I blame any aftermarket install messing with the wires...
