Help!! Something wrong with my LTX8

Went out this morning to move my car and the darn thing wouldn't start. The green LED on the LTX8 was blinking really fast and it had a constant clicking sound coming from it. I'm in Florida and it is pretty cool outside today (40's) but I hope that didn't affect it. Anyone have an idea what could be the problem?

So, if someone tries tostart car it won't start. It'sjust another DIY antitheft device. Anything that can delay these car thieves and give me time to confront them is better than nothing. I'm installing one of those paging systems that will alert me when a door is open. I'm also putting a kill switch on the fuel pump relay. Wouldn't it be nice to confront one of these car thieves with a shotgun and see the look on their faces. :o)
