Pull the fuse that says it's for the alarm- might be under the box cover.

you can hook them up afew ways so tere is no way to tell you how to unhook yours.but you can try one of these two options stop by one of your buddys hose that knows about cars and ask him to clip power wire for you or go to a privetly owend car audio shop (most install anti-theft)and tell one of the installers you will give him $20 to perminitly dissarm your sys by any means possible

On my 1994 Ford Thunderbird, the alarm went off after replacing the battery. Here is what worked to allow me to silence the alarm and get the car started... 1) Connect the positive on the battery, 2) put the key in the ignition and turn to the "on" position, leave the door open, 3) connect the minus terminal on the battery, 4) flip a small switch under the dashboard, 5) turn the ignition on and the car started. Mind you, this was after trying lots of other things. I believe the switch is a valet switch, but I'm not sure. I'm also not sure if the alarm is the factory one, or aftermarket. I suspect factory since the owners manual mentions an alarm system.

My 95Lx have me problems not starting , I replaced battery ,still nothing . Turned out ,the python alarm when my battety got below a certain volts makes the alarm trigger. Same said if you disconnect battery cable. Every single it will do this . Eventually I found theres a small button underneath dash , very close to your hood latch , close to one of the screws that you remove to take of bottom or dashboard . Turn key in on position while holding that button down fir 3 to5 seconds.. Start it up.. Remember if you remove power to work on car , you'll need to repeat the process , unless you remove the alarm Good luck

E .. does car start with alarm on ?? Oops good, look far right next to resovoier. Should be a horn there , oddly mine had come on last time I unhooked battery then hooked back up. If you found the button, hold it in after key gets to the on position count to 5 let button go and then turn key from on position to start. Mine will just usually flash ights , but you can cut the black wire on the horn or find the fuse .
