I would like help, my car will not start due to the alarm system and I really cannot afford to pay to have it reset at a dealership. I have done everything from disconnecting the battery and unlocking the drivers side, passengers side doors even the trunk but no success.

Yes, there are micro switches inside the latch that sounds like they are not working. I would start by checking the switch operation with a test light or voltmeter. Here is a guide to help you get started:

Check out the diagrams (below).

Please let us know what you find. We are interested to see what it is.

Cheers, Ken
