Car alarm won't disactivate

I have a 1997 Toyota Camry and the car alarm won't become unarmed, which prevents me from turning the car on. I've taken the terminals off the battery and tried to reset the alarm by turning the key 5 times. I've tried the valet override. I can't think of anything else that might help.

    I have this same problem with my 1999 Camry LE. I do not drive it often and recently tried to jump the car and the panic alarm would NOT STOP until I took the jumper cables off of the car. This is the first time this has happened to me.

Dead deactivated factory car alarm Camry 96

It sounds like there may be an issue with the factory car alarm system on your 1996 Toyota Camry that is preventing the car from starting. If the alarm system is preventing the starter from getting power, it is likely that the alarm system will need to be repaired or replaced in order for the car to start.
If the Toyota dealership does not have the parts or knowledge to repair the old alarm system, it may be difficult to find someone who can fix it. One option you could try is contacting a specialist who works on older car alarms and see if they have any experience with the alarm system in your Toyota Camry. Another option is to try finding a used factory car alarm from a wrecker or online that is compatible with your car and installing it to see if that resolves the issue.
If you are unable to repair or replace the factory car alarm, you may need to consider installing a new aftermarket car alarm system. An aftermarket car alarm can be purchased from an automotive parts store or online, and a mechanic or an experienced car enthusiast should be able to install it for you.

disconnect the alarm system from under the dash.battery to starter direct will turn the engine over fine but ignition system still runs through your alarm system.It's also a theft prevent system so your car will not be stolen.The alarm went bad preventing your car from starting.That means putting the ignition wiring back to factory.
