if door is not locked when u reach in wont activate alarm --try lock dr and use key in lock and open dr alarm should activate in a few seconds and will shut off when key put in ignition or key fob shut off -if it does not set it off --check ur settings thru ur dash information if setting is as you want than may have to have system reflashed at dealer

It's supposed to off (sound the alarm) when the panic button is pushed.

To remote start: Press Lock briefly and then hold down arrow key. (Remote start button is key that looks like an arrow going in a circle) Any other combination can set off alarm or panic feature.

You may have burned something up. Check with manufacturing codes, the rapid light flashing can be a code.

Have you tried changing the battery in the remote? You should be able to hit the panic button to stop the panic

No i do not think you have electrical problem, try this.

Car in Park
Key on
push and hold unlock on good remote for 5 to 10 seconds
while holding unlock, press and hold panic, then release together
Listen for chime
press and release any button on all remote to be programmed.

If this will not work you need to bring the Vin# and remote to a dealer for reprogramming.

if its the remote then it needs to be swapped out. it could be the alarm module if the remote is not the thing that malfunctioning. i would get the alarm reprogrammed by the dealer and the whole module and go from there.
so in order, 1. reprogram whole system 2.replace remote 3.replace module

If you don't have one that works for the vehicle now, you'll have to take it to your local dealer to have it programmed to the vehicle. Some will charge for this, some will do it at no charge.

If you do have a remote that is programmed and working for the vehicle, then the following steps will allow you to program another remote:

1. Enter vehicle and close all doors.

2. Put seatbelt on (or clip it into the buckle) to shut the warning buzzer off.

3. Put key in ignition, turn to run position but don't start it.

4. Press and hold the unlock button on the working key fob and hold for 4 seconds, then also press the panic button.

5. Release both buttons and you should hear a single chime to indicate it is in program mode. You have 30 seconds after the chime to program any additional remotes you want to program.

6. Press and release both the unlock and lock buttons simultaneously on the remote you are programming. You should hear another single chime.

7. Within 4 seconds after hearing the chime, press either lock or unlock button on remote that you are programming.

the alarm may be in "stolen" mode already. what you can do is that you can switch the key into ON position and open the hood, remove the negative terminal from the battery and reconnect after two minutes. this will give the alarm time to reboot and recognized that you have the key to this vehicle.
