alarm question.

hey guys, i have a question about my alarm.

first off i didnt think it worked, but i disconnected my battery and connected it again, my alarm went off. so i used the remote to turn it off, and to my amazement it turned off. Also with the remote it is capable of activating also. So now i know that the alarm works, but the problem is that when i start the car and drive it for a bit, and turn it off. i cant activate it or disarm it.

btw its a clifford alarm system

Hmmmm ... It could Be the power/ground wires comming from the battery(some installers grab the power off the key cylinder)Check those wires/terminals and fuse holders attached to the battery..............
the fuse holder gets loose rusted(the blades inside)

Sounds like a bad ground. Make sure that the alarm is grounded to the chassis somewhere and the paints is sanded off at the ground point.

Could be ground, but you might just need to change the battery in the remote.

hey first off i want to thank you for your help in helping me with my alarm.

Now that my alarm works, i am able to arm it even after i drive. now i want to fix up my power central locks.
now, i know for a fact that my car has a power lock motor on my passenger side because when i took apart my door i saw a set huge batch of wires and it was connected all the way to under the steering wheel. not knowing what it was and was in a hurry to take off the door i snipped the wires... i know that was not smart but the damn door was heavy. anyways, the power lock motor is connected to a huge batch of wires and this batch of wires include a blue, green, red, white and brown. i know the only 2 wires i snipped was the green and blue wires. but now i have no clue where they belong but somewhere under the the steering wheel.
also can you tell me what the red, brown, and white wire do/go?

thanks a lot, sorry for the long read

edit: also its possible to put the wires back together with electrical tape or something even if i snipped it?
