help! alarm problem. car wont turn on.
my friend owes me money. so he gave me a 94 gmc jimmy. that was sitting in his yard.
so i went over today. sprayed some starter fluid in the intake. put it back on. turned it on. and she started right up
after sitting for almost 6 months. i was surprised she did. then the baterry in my other jimmy died. so i had to take the baterry out of this jimmy to get mine started. then i took out the baterry. put it back in my friends jimmy. and when i went to turn it on, the alarm sounded. and it wouldnt turn on. i waited till the alarm stopped. and hit the kill switch. still wudnt turn on. alarm kept sounding. i need to know. how the hell can i take the alarm out? or atleast stop it. my friend does not know where the car alarm disabler is. he claims it never had one. and that he never even knew it had an alarm.
my friend has a civic. he lost his alarm disabler. so he cut up the alarm out of the car. and ended up with a car that still wudnt start. and had to pay a tow truck to tow it over to the shop. shell out 280 bucks to take out the old system. and install a new one. i dont have the money to do that.
im hoping someone here can help me

Re: help! alarm problem. car wont turn on.
It probably has starter kill on it. Very simple to bypass it. First find the "brain" of the alarm and unplug it. Its usualy up under the dash behind the steering wheel (small black box with several plugs on it. One large white plug and probabl a gray 2 wire plug, blue 2 wire plug and another 3 wire plug. Just unplug the big white connector to it that has 20 some wires on it. Then find the wires coming off the back of the ignition switch. There should be a relay tied in off the big fat yellow wire. Cut the relay out and connect the yellow wire back together. It may also be an orange wire but 9/10 are yellow.

thats pretty much right, everything can proabably just be removed by cutting it out and taping the loose ends. the problem is the starter wire, that is the only wire in the car that should be cut to install the alarm, find the rather large wire that has been cut either going into a relay or directly into the alarm, and recconect it to itself.
