OK I know it's a old post. But it's one with out a answer. I just had to do this on a quest. Open the hood look for a rubber boot with a rod in it sticking up a little bit above the finder. When the hood opens it tells the alarm system the car is being repaired. Now don't unplug it. It has one 10mm bolt in the side of it. Take it out an turn the switch so the hood don't press it. Now you have no automatic door locking an no alarm going off. Good luck
