I just bought a 92 turbo 5sp. mr2 3 days ago. the 2 days I've driven it is all it took for me to fall in love, I absolutely love it. Unfortunately.... as I went to get in earlier today I forgot about the alarm system and opened the door and the alarm went off so I panicked and put the key in to shut it off. When I went to start it, though, it wouldn't. I read the entire manual for the security system and found exactly what to do: push the bypass button to deactivate the system. Easy, right? Not when you cant find the button. I called the previous owner who had it for a year and he said he never found it either... great. After looking forever and trying every possible combination of unlocking, locking, and pushing the alarm buttons possible I finally just pulled the dome light fuse and the car started, I put the fuse back and drove home. Later I decided to go was it so I went to start it to move it but it wouldnt again, so I tried pulling the fuse but this time absolutely everything electrical shut down and refuses to work. I checked every fuse and made sure both terminals are secured. I have no idea what to do and am getting more and more depressed, frustrated, and worried over it as the minutes pass. sorry for the length, I wanted to make sure nothing was overlooked or left out so as to get the best help possible.

sorry man cant help u with that one...u probably already kno but, that wasnt a very smart thing u did lol...usually alarms are made so that when a berglar tries to do something like that the engine shuts off...i would probably just find out who made the alarm and ask them or go to a shop..i dont kno if you checked but on my car the button is on my key pad so just if u over looked that
