Car Alarms: 1999 Dodge Ram Truck Alarm, dodge ram truck, keyless entry system

Question
I unlocked the truck with the keyless remote system.  The alarm system beeped as usual and I entered the truck. I put the key in the ignition and the car would not start. The indoor lighting dimmed way below normal after that and the alarm system went off when I opened the door. The alarm system has an LED red light. I tried to disable the alarm but it won't respond to the keyless entry system (seems like not enough power).  I tried putting the key in the door and unlocking it but that didn't turn off the alarm either.  I tried putting the key in the ignition again but that didn't turn the alarm off either.  As a last resort I disconnected the battery.  Initially this worked and I was able to use the remote keyless system to lock and unlock the door and alarm system. When I opened the door the dome light were lighted fully as normal, but when I tried to turn the car on again it would not start again and the dome lights really dimmed again. I looked under the dash and it looks like the alarm system was wired in aftermarket. There was a wire hanging that had a little black push button (I don't know if this is part of the alarm system). I tried a second key to see if it was the key itself, but the other key didn't work as well. How do I deal with this problem so I can start my truck?

Answer
Then it needs to be extracted.
Until then try override using that button:

KEY IN THE IGNITION AND TURNED FORWARD
TO THE ON POSITION BEFORE CRANKING.
THEN WITHIN 5 SECONDS:

Press and hold in the button (little
spring loaded micro button, red or black possibly)
until the alarm chirps 1 time. This should over ride
the system, and only the keyless entry part,
if installed, would still be operating.
The LED (light emiting diode) light in the dash
should also go on solid.=VALET/OVERIDE
( if this is a remote starter, the antenna on the
front window glass may also have the over ride
button inset into it.)

This stops the alarm except for the keyless
entry if installed. Once in Valet mode,
it will allow the car to start and operate
like there was no alarm at all.

The next step is if wanting to remove it,
you contact a local technician to
locate it, and affect neccesary service
for you.

That should solve the troubles.

Let me know what you discover.
