Apparently when I hit the lock button the system arms & is turned off by unlocking the car door. My problem is that when I hit the lock button, the doors DONT lock.So when I go to leave, I just open the door! Its all electric, 4 door. What is going on? Can I get the locks to lock? Can I disable the alarm system? How is this set up supposed to keep my car from being stolen?

Answer 2

After living 35 years in our beautiful home town of Tucson we had to move 5 years ago. Tucson started to change in the 1990`s. by 2000 In Tucson we lived behind iron barred doors and windows. We had a 6 ft block wall around our back yard, 30 by 40, that our daughter played in. Twice we found men inside this enclosure trying to pry the bars off the windows. She could not go in our front yard without escort. The illegals roamed the streets and often would come to our door asking for money, directions, or water. Which we gave of course but never money. We lived 4 blocks from the school but we had to drive her there and pick her up because it was to dangerous for her to walk home alone. Helicopters nightly searched with huge search lights for criminals often lighting up our neighborhood. One Hispanic man was caught by police hiding in our trash container. Mind you this was a good neighborhood. We sold our house for 240K. We moved to small town Kansas. Now our daughter can run and play. She learned to ride a bicycle with in the first week of our arrival something she could not do in Tucson. When we moved here there was no English as a second language in the school. 5 years later there are now 17 students who can not speak English and only Spanish in the school. It is the same with all the schools in Kansas with on average 15 new non english speaking students per small town school.
