How to reset the factory alarm?

[ekmarsal]

Hi. I have a '94 JGC Limited and last night, somehow I activated the alarm that's original factory alarm. I disarmed it but now when I unlocked the doors the driver's door stays locked. No problems with locking it.
I wonder if that's the case because I disarmed the alarm by turning a key in the driver's side lock? I, actually disconnected the battery first , because I didn't know what to do and I kind of got lost for a moment. It was only for a second that I disconnected it and than I put it back, after that horn silecened but the lights were still blinking, and then I tried the key in the door which worked.
Now, this really bothers me that I can't open my door with the remote. I hope if I reset the alarm it might go away.
Thank you for your help.

Try tapping the unlock button on the remote until the door opens. If no luck disconnect the battery and try again...keep in mind the PCM will have to re-learn engine and other settings if you do this.
You might have to take it to the dealer to reprogram the module or even have some flaky electronics replaced.

Here's the procedure to program the remote.

1. Put key in ign. Leave in off.
2. Open driver door, leave open throughout.
3. Manually push door lock button to "lock" position, not using electric
door locks, just manually push lock button.
4. Turn ign to "run" position.
5. Within 20 seconds, hold lock button on remote till remote LED flashes
twice and electric door locks cycle on /off.
6. Within 20 seconds, push manual door lock back to "lock" position and
press "lock" button on 2nd remote till it flashes twice and locks cycle
again.
7. Turn ign key to "off" position within 20 seconds.

Try both remotes and see if they work.

Hope this helps,

When you disconnect battery, you have to have 20 start cycles before security system fully resets,
