Default How to deactivate kill switch?

So, i was trying to fix my door handles and some how, i managed to set my alarm off! I go to put my key in the ignition and it stops. But, my door is open with the coor mechanism closed and it is locked... everytime i push the unlock button the alarm goes off. So i take out the negative terminal, and unlock, and go to put the terminal back on and the car alarm goes off again. So i go to put my key in the ignition and it turns off. But now i can't start the car... and from what i have searched... there is a kill switch that prevents the car from starting after the alarm goes off? Anyone got a clear list of instructions on what i need to do to overide the alarm kill switch and get it running back to normal? It is a 93 sc300 btw. Any input would be really helpful right now!

Thanks

How? I experienced the same thing last week. After taking off the negative term. 3 or 4 times I was finally able to start up but I wondered how to disconnect this? Thanks.

i basically closed all the doors, locked the car up manually, and opened it with the key from the drivers side. Then, thankfully, it worked
