Hi All,
I changed my battery, and of course the alarm came on. I don't use the alarm much, and don't have a FOB. So I turned the key in the driver's door once, alarm still on. Two times rapidly, alarm still on. I try some other combos. Still on. Opened door and tried key in ignition, nothing. A moment later, the alarm goes off. I spend the next hour trying different stuff, but still couldn't get the alarm off.
I finally found the alarm manual which showed where the override button is. Success! Alarm off, car starts. BUT, when I turn the car off, it won't start again unless I disconnect the negative battery cable and hit the override button again. [edit] And the alarm re-arms after a few minutes. [/edit]
How do I get my car back???!?!!
THANKS!
Hans
