Default 1984 Security system wont shut off

battery was dead so I charged it now security wont turn off. I did the lock unlock that I heard about on google but the light is still on solid(not flashing) and wont let me start the car. What do you guys think could be the problem?

Story on car: friend gave it to me not running charged bat and put new injectors in it and it fired up, has a draw somewhere and drained battery, now security wont turn off and wont let me start it.

Thanks Ben

What's the lock unlock google tip? Are you putting the key in the driver door lock in an attempt to turn off the alarm?

Open the driver side door panel and see if you can jump the circuit....in other words when your driver side door lock is used, it turns and a switch makes a ground.

Try grounding those wires and see if that doesn't reset the alarm.

Disconnect the ground wire from the battery for about 30 seconds and that should turn it off. I keep a 5/16 wrench in my car for this reason. That does not address the problem but should get you going. Dave
