I disconnected my battery to clean the MAF

[toddstaples]

...... and when I try to reconnect it, the alarm keeps going off. I didnt even know the thing had an alarm. How Do I disable the alarm?

If you have keyless entry, try inputting the code.

Or, put your key in the door, and turn it.

Or put the key in the ignition and turn it.

When you say the alarmis "going off', what do you mean? The horn sounds? Or some other sound?

 

[toddstaples]

the horn...........

 

[toddstaples]

no keyless entry, and no remote either

 

[toddstaples]

Anyone??
Im dying here. The door lock or Starting the truck doesnot disable the Horn/Alarm? Its Midnight and my neighbors are getting pissed.........

keep it off till morning.....


then in the morning...reconnect it..if it still does it

just drive around for awhile(with the horn going off) i bet it stops after like 30 mins...

my best guess

 

[toddstaples]
