Car alarm question, please help!
Ok so both of my keyless entry remotes do not work. My question is if I arm the alarm by hitting the lock button on my doors and then using the key to get it, will it set off the alarm and/or will I be able to deactivate the alarm by putting the key in the ignition?? Thanks!

When you use the remotes, you'll see the lock icon by the tach stay solid for a while and then start flashing every few seconds once it's armed. This doesn't happen when you use the lock button or lock it manually. It will either ding at you and wait a few seconds after both doors are shut and then lock, or lock immediately, depending on your settings you programmed.

No, because using the lock button on the doors does not arm the system. Only the remotes activate the alarm. You can then either use the remotes or use your key to unlock it, but the alarm will not go off because it was never armed.

I may be wrong about that part though. I'll check on it next time I'm out. The bottom line is no on the alarm question though.

You won't get a flashing light when you use the door button. It'll just lock the door(s) (either with a delay or not after you shut the doors, depending on your settings).
It will quickly flash the light when you use the remote with the door(s) open. When you shut the door(s) it will then lock the doors, with or without the delay, and the light will go solid (stating you've got a grace period to get back in the car manually until the alarm arms, like if you forgot something in there), and then will begin slowly flashing once the alarm is armed.

Update: I started wondering, so I ran out and checked. This is correct. ^
