Unlock Doors with Door Key
When locking, Lock "Manually" do not use Door Lock Switch
Oterwise:

Find the BLUE/RED (-) wire located in the 15 PIN Connector in Driver Kick Panel / Door Boot
Connect one end of a peice of wire to the BLUE/RED (-) wire
Connect the other end of the peice of wire to Ground (chassis)
This will DisArm Factory Alarm until the wire is removed

Does not sound like Alarm

If dash lights come on:
Be sure Battery Cables are clean & tight
Check to see if Security Light is flashing
Connect Jumper Battery to help

I actually did that but here is the deal, I disconnected the battery posts because the alarm kept on going off. It stopped and when I put the battery post back the alarm started to go off again. I put battery cables on to see if it would help but didn't work. There is power because the dash board lights work and the tuen signals work also. I know for a fact that it is not an aftermarket alarm because I do see that 15 pin connector on the bottom of the dashboard. That red light still keeps on flashing and I pushed it down and it cuts off the horn beeping but the red light keeps on flashing. and there is no cranking sound when I try totirn on the vehicle
