Alarm Won\'t Shut Off, Car Won\'t Start
Anyone know how to disable the alarm system in a '98 Jetta? My remote quit working so I opened the door with the key, which caused the alarm to go off. According to the owners manual, this should not cause the alarm to go off. I tried several times and no luck. Right now, the car is locked with the key, but the alarm LED is not flashing. The car has crank-up windows, if that makes a difference. I'm going to pick up some new batteries for the remote tomorrow, but I don't see how this should be different from using the key to open the door. Please help!
