Do you know or do you need info on how to do the factory alarm deactivation procedure?

Was the battery replaced or disconnected when this started or door handle touched with door locked?

I would like to know how to de-activate alarm, if its not to complicated. Battery was replaced 3months ago,
breakdown guy disconnected and re-connected battery terminal. Also tried door lock with the key.
I have a powered sliding door for wheelchair access.
When the key is turned and held, in the drivers door, it opens and closes sliding door, is that correct, or short circuit. Because of disability I cannot be as hands on as I would like.I have to get the chrysler garage to repair the problem, with your help im making sure I dont get ripped off.
