I have a 91 nissna maxima and when i bought the car it had this alarm already in it, it is a Sansone. The problem is that it never worked right I couldnt disarm it from outside of the car. I had to unlock the car sit in it and point the remote at the steering wheel it would make a noise and my car would start. It was like a kill switch rather then a alarm. Now the other day it totally stop working. It would make the noise but the car wouldnt start. I was told to take the alarm out and maybe it would work. Now the alarm was only hooked up to 6 wires the other ones where taped off. Now there are 2 thick wires on black with a green stripe and a black with a yellow stripe. I was told that these are the starter motor and the starter ignition switch. I am confused with all of this I just need my car running what can I do to get passed this ghetto alarm and get the car running. Is there a way to bypass this wanna be kill switch. Help here please

I just got that info off this site but my question is that i hooked it all back up but it still wont start. Is it possible that the alarm killed my starter is there a way to get this car running again? I dont need a alarm now and I think the old one never disarmed and i guess thats why now my car wont start.
Yeah i re connect everything by macthing the color of the wire but it still doesnt work.
If you don't need the alarm system anymore, take out the system and make sure that you re-connect the starter wire as I'm sure it was disconnected for the starter disable circuit.
