Hello

Here are instructions for resetting the alarm.

1.Turn the ignition off for 1 minute.

2.Crank the engine and return the ignition to the run position for at least 10 minutes, but not more than 11 minutes. Go by the clock.

3. Turn the ignition off for 10 seconds.

4. Repeat steps 2 through 4 two more times.

5. Start the engine.


This guide can help as well

PROTECH 1980, Thank you for the info on my saturn. That fixed my problem,at least the car will start now. Is it possible to communicate with you further? I still can't keep the horn from sounding when I open the doors even though they are not locked.
thanks again, zigybob

let's try this it will relearn your passlock sensor. Make sure your battery is fully charged up. Put your e-brake on so it will turn ur daytime running lights off. Also make sure your headlights blower fan and all that are off too. Now turn your key to the start position for a couple of seconds then let it go back to the run position dont turn to acc or off. You will see the security light ethier flashing or staying on solid if its on solid then wait till it turns off. If its flashing then wait till it turns solid or turns off.it will be about 10 mins between each light change of state. After it changes like i said then turn the ignition to the off position but not before or you will have to start over. Then wait 30 seconds then do it again you will have to do this 3 times after the 3rd cycle is done when you go to turn it to the start position for the 4th time it should start. Let me know if it starts.
