It sounds like the key sensor in the drivers door is malfunctioning, the drivers door is the only door that can enable/disable the alarm, if you try to unlock any of the others it will trigger the alarm.

Sometimes with my Kia I have to (without opening the door), cycle lock and unlock several times before the alarm is disarmed.

Have you tried this is succession, with all the doors locked:-

put the key in the drivers door, turn to lock and then to unlock, the alarm should disarm.

Also, if any of the door locks are jammed, the alarm will still activate when you try to unlock the drivers door.

If that fails and the alarm still activates, then it's a problem with the key sensor in the door.

Try "cycling the key in the passenger door lock. Turn it all the way to the right and all the way to the left.

I have the same fridge. It was driving me crazy. I emptied it. Cleaned it. Defrosted it. And was ready to dump it. Then worked it out. As it beeps when the door is open. How does it know. Because when the door is open the light is on. I taped up the light nob with masking tape, on top left of fridge. No light now
But no beep Yay!!!!

Hi

Have you put new fuel in the car? fuel left for 6mths wont be very good. and most likely will need a service, new plugs etc etc, change the oil and check the battery connections.

Hope this helps

If you hook up the jumper cables can you disable the alarm with the remote?

try checking the fuses for the swithes themselves, usually under the dash or beside the doors

disconnect the bonnet switch under the hood behind the right headlight .should stop the alarm.let me know how you get on with this.will the doors open manually with key in door.or they wont open with remote as you did not specify

The fuse for the alarm is under the hood. Give a good look and you should find it. Once you have pulled it it will deactivate the alarm I am not sure if this is exactly your problem since you said that the car wont start.... but it is worth a try.
