1997 SC300 -My battery died. While jumping it, the panic alarm went off. Locking and unlocking the car with the fob quieted the alarm, but now the car will not start. Do I need to reset the security system, and if so, how do I reset it?

The battery has been fully charged, the open door light goes on, but the engine will not try to start. I tried locking the driver door with the key, which turned on the security red light for about 30 seconds, the it began blinking. I then unlocked the door and tried the key; nothing. I tried quickly unlocking the door twice; nothing.

Try locking and unlocking the drivers door with the key a few times in a row. Worked for my 92sc300 at the time. Not sure if you cycled the key enough

Try the passenger door also.....

Thanks for the suggestions. I just tried both doors 10 times with both the master and the valet keys. Unsuccessful. Still looking for ideas . . .

You may have accidentally blown a fuse... check all the big fuses in the main fusebox under the hood first with a multimeter not just by looking then if they are all ok try the ones inside.
