I am guessing it’s a aftermarket alarm fitted if it is.
The alarm needs to see the wireless signal from the remote. This is what arms the alarm and disarms it.
Check the battery on the remote might be dead.

Well its a matter of finding the alarm module and cutting the wires that have been tapped into the factory wires. Make sure you tape the factory wires up after cutting the alarm wires off.
And then there should be a relay wired up that is used for immobilizing the car. Find this relay and figure out which wire should join back together. Figure out what circuit it is immobilizing. (Starter/Efi/Fuel pump)
This is for a basic alarm. There's alarms out there that Immobilize The starter and EFI at the same time.
So if your not confident get a mate that knows or a Sparky to do it.

find the module on the back theres a plate you can remove inside ther are some switches flick all off them to opposite of what they are and it should disarm my vn i just bought has an alarm that wasnt working flicked the switches and now im immobilised

Find out what the alarm is immobilizing and bypass this and the car will start.
Look under the steering Colum and further down i have found this is were most installers immobilize the car using aftermarket alarms

mine was in the centre console under the radio can be anywhere is it a factory remote or aftermarket may be as easy as turning the key in the passenger door jam

I was actually talking about the immobilization of the car not the alarm module itself.

yeah my immobiliser relay and all was under there tapped into the wiring

same thing happen to sons s15, what it was water was entering in the system where you use key to disarm if your car is getting worked on (the box under the bonnet to disarm with your alarm key)
he had to replace this box cost was about $100 through autobarn.
I hope this helped a bit.
