Dalton,

If you do not have a keyfob and the door lock is not working to turn off the alarm.  You will either need to get the van to a dealer to program a remote or a locksmith to do the same.  Otherwise, you could pull the door panel and see if the switch is defective or the wires have come loose from the back of the door lock switch.  Now, if you have an aftermarket alarm you could reset it with the instructions they provide with the unit.
