Make sure all doors and trunk and hood is closed. Get out turn key in droves door to let 3 times. Hurry and hop in. Put key in b don’t turn it all the way then hurry and press alarm button it should stop. Keep trying if it doesn’t work the first time.

Thank you, Misstatig! I have tried about ten different recommendations and yours is the only one that worked! I turned my key 3 times to the unlock position in the door (to the right instead of the left), put the key in the ignition, turned to on position and pressed alarm button. Thank you so much!
