the Alarm Messed Shit Up

[theKnifeArtist]

so my window was open. and i locked the car. and my friend opened the door from the inside which i think triggered my alarm(but the thing wasnt making noises or anything...maybe its broken there?) and now i cant turn on my radio and my clock on the dash doesn't work either. what do i do here?

when i had problems with the factory alarm(car wouldnt start). i just unlocked the door turning the key and holding it for 3 seconds. i read that resets the alarm. or pulling the dome light fuse i think does the same thing.

Umm, neither of those do anything. The key trick is closest however.

Exiting the car, locking the door then unlocking it (both using the key, no keyless entry stuff here) should reset the factory alarm.

However, none of your symptoms correlate to an alarm issue. Is your battery charged, can you start/drive the car like that?

locking unlocking the door did no thing for me, holding the key turned for 3 seconds worked first try so
