Alarm not setting
I just put a new battery in my '94 and thankfully that was the only reason it wouldnt start. Anyway, it has keyless entry, and now the alarm wont automatically set when I walk away with the keys. I havent tried walking any further away than i usually do, so i dont know if it has some kind of perimeter thing on it that couldve reset or what. Any ideas?

The PKE system might be turned off.
Stand next to the drivers door, and press and hold the lock button on your key FOB. Hold the button in until you hear the locks cycle, should take 2-3 seconds.
If the system was off, it should now be on. If it was on, it will now be off.
Oh, and F.Y.I.
The keyless system is so much setting the alarm as it is locking the doors. The act of locking the doors is what is setting the alarm, and you can do that manually also. And the alarm will still be set.
