My battery died and my factory car alarm went haywire disabling my truck. I hooked the charger up to give it a jump. I then smelled electrical so I immediately unhooked everything. I got a new battery and and put it in. I was able to disarm the alarm enough so the truck starts but now my power windows don't work and my truck won't come out of park so I can drive it. What do I do? Is it the alarm system doing this? And how do I disarm it completely?

Check if the brake lights are working. If they are not, check for a blown fuse. Fuses often blow when connecting a battery due to the current surge of the numerous computers' memory circuits.
