How do I disarm the factory alarm in my car?

75

Asked by Mazda1999 Oct 06, 2014 at 09:43 AM about the 1999 Mazda 626 LX

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

After fixing the timing alignment I went to plug the battery in and the alarm went off and
wouldn't stop. I don't have the original keys but I do have a key that was made at the
Mazda dealership and I tried the whole unlock-lock door trick and it didn't stop the alarm.
There was an aftermarket alarm on it and I took that off but now the factory alarm is going
off; right now I just have the battery unplugged

Ok I will try that and get back to you. I do know that when I first got the keys it took about an hour for car to recognize them and want to start but this problem with the alarm came after I reset the timing alignment; they were working just fine before.
