Have you done anything to the car before this started happening? How old is the battery?

And you are not getting any codes with a scan?

I can see the system maybe interfering with the alarm depending where your wires/grounds are tapped. But that's about allI can help you with. Has the car been jumped or used to jump someone else? You can try to pull the battery cable to reset the car and see if that helps.
