Update:

I got a car here to try to jump it off. I connected jumper cables and started other car. My emergency/hazard lights front and back immediately started going off and it was making the ticking sound. This was occurring with the outside lights and without the button activated or the dash indicator on. When I tried to start the car there was no response from the engine. It only made a rapid "tick-tick-tick" sound from underneath the hood.

During the previous time frame I had left fuse 9, the alarm fuse, out of the box. With the jumper cables attached my radio worked but no interior lights, as I figured they wouldn't. With the fuse 9 back in the interior lights worked but no alarm came back on.

I disconnected the jumper cables and tried to start the vehicle again. It made one tick, the same noise a before, and then would make no more effort to start or do anything.
