    That car doesn't have any fancy alarm or security system unless it was an aftermarket alarm. Check the battery is installed with the correct polarity and if there are fusible links at the positive battery cable are intact and not blown! After that you are checking wiring diagrams and testing circuits. Autozone have some popular workshop manuals for free on line once you register (for free) on their website http://bit.ly/autozone_repair_info. There is a company that independent auto repair shops get their information from, this same information is available inexpensively for people that work on their own cars.. The information is year make and model specific, covering repair procedures, torque specifications, fluid capacities and specifications, service bulletins, component locations, wiring diagrams ect.... Alldata is very easy to navigate http://bit.ly/AllData_Repair_Manuals_Online
