There should be a momentary switch somewhere under the dash. Try holding that down while you switch the key into on position. Do not release the switch for as long as 10 seconds. If that doesn't work, just go under the dash and reconnect the starter wire. It's the big black wire with white stripe coming from your ignition switch to the fuse box. Use a crimp butt connector or solder or both.

Just to be clear: your car does not crank, correct? When you turn the key nothing happens.

The black/white wire is the starter signal wire. It will only see 12v when in cranking position with the key, and only on the wire coming from the ignition switch. With the key in crank or start position, you should see 12v coming from the switch.

This is the wire that is cut and spliced into your alarm, yes? If so, cut it out of the alarm harness and reconnect it. Try to cut as little as the black/white wire off as you can so that it isn't too short. You may need to extend it due to the cutting and splicing.

Hope that helps.

Sweet.

You should be able to pull the alarm module out and be good to go.
