Alarm system malfunction FIX
I assume this would be 'Tech' related so I'm putting it here.
The alarm has gone off on me a couple times. I don't ever lock the car since I bought it, I keep nothing in it and simply don't need to. The other day after having the doors and hood open for awhile cleaning things it went off again. No matter how many times I reset it with the door key, I would turn the ignition and it would go off again.
The ONLY way to over-come this was to LEAVE the key in the door turned still, and start the car. Then I was able to remove the door key and had no issues since.
Just wanted to let everyone know, you can try this if you get in a pinch. The first time this happened to me it was raining pretty hard. That time I went back and forth 3 times and it just happened to give in and start.

Right.
Leave the ROUND HEAD key fully turned to the UNLOCK position in the DRIVER DOOR while starting the vehicle with the SQUARE HEAD key. This will reset the alarm system and you can get back on the road.
Hope this can help some people.
