Sounds like a bad battery, or a faulty altenator.

My car had some of these same problems when I got. My problem was the ignition key lock cylinder.Might not be yours but it's worth looking at. You can get one off Ebay for 35.00. The parts house around here wanted 150.00! Crazy price difference.

I hope a new battery does the trick..as that was also going to be my first suggestion as well.

I will be looking forward to your response and hear that was the problem.

What Brand is the after market alarm?
Do you have the key fob for it?

Either the box for the alarm (Under the dash) or the antenna (mounted on the windshield) May have a button on it that you can by pass the kill switch
process by holding that button while turning the key.

Is the door shut, when you turn the key to start it?...
If not, try shutting the door then turn the key...
