That is your problem.

Do you not have the remote for the alarm?

There is a relay installed under the dash as part of the alarm which prevents the started from working.

If you cannot get the remote I can walk you through how to remove the alarm and bypass the starter kill.

Good one Poorman, I was kinda assuming that if he had an alarm he would have mentioned that already. Guess I should stop assuming...

If you have an alarm on the car, you should be able to find the control unit pretty easily. It is either under the dash on the driver's side or under the center console.

Take a look under the dash for wires that look out of place. Follow them to the the control unit for the alarm.

Try to find a reset button on the alarm.
