'97 Voyager alarm/starting problems

[ataru]

Hi,

We've been having a heck of a time lately trying to get our van to start. It seems to be related to the alarm.. we disable the alarm with the faub, but it still won't turn over. Usually we have to fiddle with the faub for awhile before we can get it running, and it's really unpredictable.. sometimes we can get it going immediately, other times in can take like half an hour. We're thinking of trying to disable the alarm system to see if that would help.. any ideas on how to do that? And could it possibly be a faulty faub doing it?

Thanks for any and all help!!
