Car Alarms: Alarm problems, dash area, starter wire

Question
I have a 2001 Chevy Calalier with a Code Alarm installed in it.  My remote has not worked in a couple of days and I need to know how to disarm it so I can drive it.  My boyfriend removed a fuse and we can get in the car but the car won't start.  What do I need to do to get my car to start?
Thanks,
Catie

Answer
Cathrine,
  The system is in PANIC mode.
If this is indeed the Code Alarm we are
dealing with, try this:

Put the key in the ignition, and turn forward
all the way just before cranking. Then within
5 seconds, locate, press and hold in the
valet/overide button, found as part of
the blinking light assembly LED
in your dash area goes on solid,
and the siren chirps once.

(if not part of the LED in the dash, it may be
a pushbutton under the dash area.)

This should reset the alarm, and reset
the grounded relay on the starter wire,
allowing you to start the engine.

At this point, the only thing working would
be the keyless entry from the alarm,
if it came equipped that way.

Just Repeat these steps to place it
back to usable armed mode.
You may get 2 chirps, confirming it,
and the lights may flash twice as well.

That should do it.
If you want to remove it at this point,
take it to your neighborhood installer
for this, or buy the wiring chart
(Go to: www.vehiclewires.com)
for the vehicle, and reverse engineer it wire
by wire, until safely removed.

If it does not work out this way,
you will have to replace the system
with one you know how to operate
and what to expect. Don't want to
get stuck in another bad situation.

Also, this car has GM'S PASSLOCK II system
and if there is a security light on in the
dash, instead of the LED I spoke of up top,
the bad news, GM will need to reset it. You can't
do it by youself unfortunately.

But try the disarm info above first to see if it applies
to your troubles. (I am however leaning towards the passlock issue, sorry.)

Let me know what happens.
