Easiest way to go about it is disconnect the wire to the noise maker. U could disconnect the wire to the alarm board itself but you do not know if there are some other circuits tied into it that will be disabled when you do the disconnect. But if you do it my way there is no hassle.

Of course, when the alarm goes off you will hear nada. My only concern is that when the alarm goes off if it kills other circuits that make the car go.

If you can get a hold of a schematic you can tell what the story is and what to do.

Alarm in my 2002 gmc Sonoma goes off when I open the door with the key. Lost remote. Can I disable the alarm without messing other things up?

Door Key Switch
The BCM monitors the door key switches in order to disarm the CTD system. When the lock cylinder turns in order to unlock the door, the switch grounds the disarm input to the BCM.
The key lock input to the BCM is probably missing , BCM doesn't see it . So it think's your breaking into the vehicle. Did you try the passenger door to see if it will disable the alarm .
The BCM - body control module ! Electronic -computer !

Disarm alarm

Get in the car, shut the door, and insert key in ignition.

Turn the key to the RUN position (NOT start, but the position the key is in when the car is running. You DON'T want to start the car).
Turn key off.
Repeat this 10 times quickly (ON, OFF, ON, OFF, etc)

Many alarm systems this is at least one way to reset or over-ride the alarm.

How can i turn the alarm off if i to o break into my buick park ave after loosing the door key

Take your identfication and the registration or vehicle identification number (VIN) to your local gm/Buick dealer and have them cut you a key to open the door, much cheaper than repairing the damage you will do to the car after breaking into it.

My 1987 Buick Park Avenue alarm goes off for no apparent reason. Up until last night the security alarm was okay. It went off while we were away from home (we found out later). We had just got back home...

Same here. What I do is lock all doors using the button on the driver's door before opening the door, then open the driver's door and lock it manually. That seems to keep it disarmed. I believe it has to be the driver's door for this to work, but I don't know for sure.
