Hazard lights flashing and car won't start 850 1997

Hi,

Tonight my wife had trouble with our 850 wagon. The hazard lights came on by themselves and couldn't be shut off. She was able to get the hazards to stay on solid rather than flash, but that was all. Also, the red light that flashes for the alarm was on solid and when she attempted to start the car, all the dash lights came on, but the engine would not turn over. Just a clicking sound.

It appears this may have something to do with the alarm. She was eventually able to get the hazards off, alarm light off, and engine started. Does anyone have an idea as to why this occurred? On our 1998 S70 sedan, when the alarm goes off, the horn sounds. Is the 1997 850 wagon different?

Any information is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Sean
