So normally I use the driver side door to disarm my alarm by putting the key in and unlocking the door. However the spring inside the keyhole on the door broke so I can’t even get the key in the door so my car alarm system is always on and alarms everytime I turn on the car. Is there a fuse or something I can remove to takeoff the alarm? Or any other way to keep the alarm system disarmed?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

If you remove the fuse that the alarm works with, the car won't run. What I feel you need to do is replace the lock that broke. Also, it can't be disarmed.

If you decide to replace the handle/lock, here are the directions. The attached pics correlate with the directions. Note, the lock assembly can be replaced without replacing the handle, but the handle must be removed.

5. Driver's and some passenger's: Remove the maintenance cap (A) from the rear of the door, then loosen the screw securing the lock cylinder protector (B) and the outer handle (C).

NOTE: Because of the tape (D) on the middle of threads, the screw will stay on the protector after it is loosened.

6. Remove the bolt, slide the lock cylinder protector (A) rearward, then remove the lock cylinder switch (for some models), lock cylinder, and lock cylinder protector as an assembly.

7. With lock cylinder switch: Disconnect the lock cylinder switch connector (A), and detach the harness clips (B), then remove the lock cylinder switch (C).

10. While pulling the outer handle (A), remove the handle from the holes in the door panel. Take care not to scratch the door.
11. Install the handle in the reverse order of removal, and note these items:
- Make sure the lock cylinder switch harness is routed properly (for some models).
- Make sure the lock cylinder switch connector is plugged in properly (for some models), and each rod is connected securely.
- Be sure that the end of the lock cylinder is engaged with the lock cylinder switch correctly.
- Make sure the door lock cylinder/door locks operate properly.
- Make sure the door handle works properly.
- Do the power window control unit reset procedure.
- When reinstalling the door panel, make sure the plastic cover is installed properly and sealed around its outside perimeter to seal out water.
- Check for water leaks.
