Car Alarms: Lost remotes, alarmtek, starter wire

Question
We have lost both remotes.  The car has an alarm system that is activated manually using a toggle switch just inside the drivers door. The alarm was accidentally turned on.  Is there any way to get around it.  I disconnected the battery but it didn't help, even after leaving disconnected for about fifteen minutes.  Is there anything else I can try.

Answer
The alarm seems to be doing it's job.
At least we know it's installed correctly
which is actually a good thing here.

Ok, try this.
Put the key in the ignition, and turn forward
all the way just before cranking. Then within
5 seconds, locate the toggle switch,
flip switch in opposite direction,
then turn the key off.)

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. You don't want to
get stuck in another bad situation.

Let me know what happens.
