Alarm Won't Deactivate (Please Help!)

kauffmanstein · 02-09-2009, 05:37 AM

Hey guys, new poster.

I have a 89 w/7mge, I just bought the car. (first day of driving it - not a good way to start) Drove it to my girlfriend's house, locked the doors, came out a few hours later, unlocked the door with the key, opened the door, and the alarm started going off.

got in the car, turned the ignition on and the alarm deactivates - but turn the key to start and nothing happens. Same thing that it does when the clutch isn't pressed in. Tried hitting the unlock button on the door panel a couple times, no effect.

I looked through wiring diagrams and there's no clear cut fuse/relay for the security stuff. I didn't get a wireless remote with the car or anything. I'm going back to try again tomorrow, but i'm going to be stuck with a $100 tow bill if I don't figure something out fast.

Everybody here seems pretty knowledgeable, if anybody could give me a hand that'd be awesome.
