Car "chirping" and no power
I was leaving the house and realized that the car was chirping. Its a constant beep coming from a space near the rear drivers side compartment of the hood near the fuse box. None of our keys are working to lock/unlock car and I used the valet key to open the door but no power in cluster, nor ignition.
It's cold today but it's been colder. No real issues with the car other than this. I have checked all fuses, still nothing. It's been doing this for hours. Please help!

Solved
Something set the alarm or panic alert off and the faint chirping was the alarm. After hours of going off, it killed the battery. I'm assuming the auxiliary battery was powering the alarm because the car wouldn't start.
