Default Alarm

After working on this 84 for about a year now,last Sat.,as I was backing into a spot,I shut off the car,set the electric locks {passenger lock didn't engage entirely,took a couple of tries} and then the ALARM went off,something I didn't even know worked,was now beeping the horn. I tried to restart the car,nothing. So I disconnected the horns,still nothing....What's up with that?.....Does the alarm only work in reverse?......I Jiggled the passenger slide lock,and then everything worked again....Car started and things are fine again......How can I disconnect this stupid alarm system forever?

Might be easier just to fix the problem affecting the alarm. Door switches are fairly cheap. I had an aftermarket alarm installed recently and the passenger door switch created a big headache for the installer as it is the main door switch.

Thanks.......I think your right.....it was the passenger lock that did not engage correctly leading the alarm to think someone was jimming the door.......C F comes thru again....
