A car alarm that won't stop can be a frustrating thing for a car owner and anyone within earshot of the alarm. Turning the alarm off without your remote may not be as easy as using the remote, but it can still be accomplished.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Use the key to unlock the driver's door from the outside. Often this will work with the passenger door or the trunk as well, although it will not work with every car or every alarm.

  2. Step 2

    Place the car's key in the ignition and turn the car on to shut off the alarm.

  3. Step 3

    Use a keyless-entry remote to unlock the car doors. Often the keyless remote, even if it is not connected to the car alarm, can stop the alarm through unlocking.

  4. Step 4

    Use a keyless-entry remote to automatically start your car. Like putting the key in the ignition, starting a car disarms the alarm because alarms are not made to go off while the car is running.

  5. Step 5

    Find the alarm component within your car's inner frame and disconnect the alarm wires from the alarm system. Cut the alarm wires about 1/2 inch from the alarm system.

on 7/11/2009 please Note tomturnbuckle you can't do this with all alarms because some of them have a back up battery also some of them have the battery in the boot like the Nissan skylines or under the passenger seat like in vans or tracks

on 6/27/2009 Get under the car and hammer a screw driver into the battery causing the batter acid to drain out and go dead.
This is actually being done by thieves nowadays.
