Default Alarm Permanently Engaged

So the other night my battery died from what I believe was the dome lights being left on, definitely not a power or alternator issue. I bought a new one for the sake of needing to replace it soon anyway and when I installed it, the alarm started going off and I couldn't get it to silence. I ended up unplugging my horn fuses to get home but I can only assume that my car has been outside in the driveway silently screaming all night because the electric locks wouldn't work and the steering column didn't adjust itself when I got home. Am I supposed to do some odd sequence like you would do to program a fob to get it to calm down?

you could try unplugging the negative terminal to the battery for like 15 minutes and see if that changes anything

AFAIK the sequence begins from the driver door to reset the system. Insert key into door, lock, unlock then insert key into ignition cylinder to on.
