When the alarm goes off you need to use the key in the door to lock then unlock the car, I think it will be alright then, the pats system should reset itiself, my old car did and it was ok after the engine was running cos the battery was being charged up....

Its best to use a battery charger to charge the battery as the alternator will give it up to 60amps ish and could/will bug--- the battery!.

Thanks Gentlemen, that did the trick.
Had to jump it, no power in the lockup.
