So I had poked around and found out the reason why my car is not starting is due to a few months back my alarm was tripped and I did not have the key fob for it the only way to stop it was jump in turn it on turn it off after that the car wouldn't start so my question to everyone is does anybody know where I can find the alarm and kill switch setup so I can shut it off and reset it I don't even know what I'm looking for at this point any ideas or if anyone has dealt with this if you could send a picture or even tell me and describe what it looks like that would be most helpful
 
First to start with, are you talking about the oem alarm or an aftermarket system? If you take down the lower kick panel under the steering column, and then take off the metal cover over the ignition wires/column wires you will be able to see any aftermarket stuff installed on the car. Do this and post a pic on here and we can help you waaaay more. Other wise the answers to your question could be limitless as to what you have and where stuff is.
 
Nice I'll have to take a peek at that thank you however I don't have the turbo model mine is the non-turbo but I will definitely take a peek under there however when I was back on the driver back side inside the plastic paneling I did find a small black box I have no idea what it goes to I can't even figure out where solid thick black wire runs to I also found some wires that look like an old computer setup not sure what they go to they pop out of my glove box don't know if someone who ever had the car before me had a breathalyzer wondering if that could also be a reason why it's acting up I never had any issue when I first got it just only when the alarm tripped
 
The small black box under the rear driver’s side window is the receiver and actuator for your power door locks.

I think it is the stock OEM however it could be aftermarket all I know is I set the dumb thing off LOL I didn't have the fob so I thought like my dad's old thunder bird just start it up and it would stop. It did but when I shut it off it won't start just turn and attempt. I will head out and take a peak and get pics later today
