You need to deactivte the alarm. Close all doors and use the key to lock and unlock the driver door.

If this fails, try using the passenger door.

Insert ignition key and turning it on should deactivate the alarm, unless the alarm is after market, then you need to locate the toggle switch and press it with ignition turned on.

Is it after market or factory system?

A bad fuse can prevent you from deactivating the system.

The other fusebox is underdash, left kick panel.
