Alarm / Electrical / Won't Start

I got out of my Dico 98 and tried to engage to Alarm. It made a funny tick, tick, tick noise and suddenly the truck has no juice. It won't start unless it's jumped. This is the 3 rd time in a year that it has occured. In the past, I'll let it sit for a day and then mysteriously it'll start and work again. NO IDEA as to why.....Does anyone have a clue as to what's going on ??

(i've also replaced the battery on the key-less alarm gadjet)

Thanks in advance.

Yeah, I had a similar problem about a year ago. It stumped the dealer for about a month. Turns out it was an alarm relay. I don't remember the exact details because it turned into quite the fiasco. I will check my paperwork and see if I can get you a better answer.

Went back to pick up my Disco and they could not find ANYTHING wrong with it. They said everything checked out 'OKAY', although the key less remote is inoperable. They said they could order a keyless remote from the U.K. I drove away.

Next day, my car is dead AGAIN. So without even thinking about, I called a Tow Truck so they can observe the car as is........of course, the tow truck guy had to give it juice so he could put it on neutral. Soon after, everything is back to normal and NOW (mysteriously) the key less remote all of the sudden WORKS again. Needless to say, the dealer has my Disco again and now i'm waiting on a response......................
