Ok My husband was putting my whole drivers door back together and we are not sure why my factory alarm isn't working properly. See as far as I remeber you are suppose to be able to arm the car by turning toward the back of the car. But when we do that it clicks and then goes off with the door closed or opened.. What is worng with it??
 
Since the door was off then the problem would most likely be either the switch on the key lock cylinder or the courtesy light switch located between the front of the door and the door jam. I'm sure someone else will be able to give the correct terminology. The alarm is enabled when the key is used to lock the driver's side door. All switched should be closed. Once a switch is in an open state then the alarm should engage (horn). I repaired my factory alarm last year.
