Guys I need help. Quickly. My car alarm went off when I opened the door. I inserted the key and the alarm stopped, but the starter is disabled. Trun also wont open. Tried disconnecting the battery, alarm went off upon reconnecting.
I know the manual says lock all doors and then unlock. I tried that, but did not work. I have the sub key only, no master, no remote. I need to get my car before it is towed. What can I do?

The last time I had this happen I had to insert my key and turn it twice to override the factory alarm. Lock the car and insert key in the opposite door (passenger side) to unlock to see if that works. Also give the key 2 turns instead of 1. Other than that you might need the master key to get it started. That is all I can think of. This happens to me b/c my driver side will not lock all of the doors at the same time but my passenger side will.

Thanks for the input. I went back all the way after about an hour, and tried the passenger side door, and the blasted alarm went off again. I kept twisting the key back and forth, until the alarm stopped. Then the car locked itself and then unlocked itself. I went and started it and it fired up right away, but funny thing is, it locks the doors as soon as I shift out of park!!!! It has never done that before. It's done it twice now. Anyway, I took her straight home for a good night's rest.

Sometimes, mine does that as well. There are times when all of the doors will lock with the driver side door, but most times it wont. Multiple twists of the key are one time to shut the alarm off, another time to reset it to accept key to work. I know the feeling of not knowing what is happening, especially after you shut the alarm off and expect the car to stat, and the car is like "HUH,,What???" LOL!! If it happens again just use this little trick first before you panic. Plenty of times I have to unlock my car from the drivers side, so the alarm will not go off. Just imagine, your alarm going off and you have air horns installed like I do, my neighbors hate it, but they can always tell whose car is making all of the noise. LMAO!!!!
