OH boy,,,,, I had that same issue with the TE when I bought it. Some bonehead put an aftermarket alarm in it and it would occasionally cause the car not to start or the lights to flash. I found the "brain" under the right front carpet, and went at it with a pair of side cutters and held my breath. Cut every wire going to it and miracle of miracles,,, the car started after that and have not had a problem since,,, about 2 years. There are no guarantees of course, you may cut wires and end up with a car that won't start. If I could have found someone who did alarms around here I would have taken it there, but I was on my own . Good luck !
