Unhappy major electrical fault, help me!

well, i just got home to find out that ma mums car dont start, and the guy from RACV diagnosed it as an 'electrical fault', im guessin a short circuit sumwhere, but not sure : . its an EA 50th anniversary 3.9 (not multipoint)the symptoms are as follows:

car wont start
light beside tailgate switch keeps flashing (the lock/unlock switch on the dash)
right indicator comes on
nothing displays on radio face, but backlight comes on
central locking tries to lock the car intermitantly

i dont know anything about the immobiliser, and have no idea where it is exactly. the alarm has been disconnected coz it went off one day a few years back, and we just cut all the wires off the back of it to shut it up. theres a seperate switch hidden away to kill the imobiliser, its not a remote key for the alarm and imobiliser (hence just ripping the alarm out as we couldnt stop it : ) so normally we can start the car if the immobiliser does kick in for whatever reason.

i have quite a good understanding about cars, but not this side of it, so gurus, please help :

PS sorry if this is in the wrong section
