I was working on installing my stereo today. Took of the door trim and ran some speaker wire. I also disconnected both the power and ground from the battery because I switch the power terminal post. When I connected the battery again, my truck wouldn't start! Then the alarm started going off. It would go for about 2 seconds, then pause, and repeat. So right now I just have the ground disconnected so it'll stop making noise. There was also a buzzing sound coming from the alarm. Is this related to me disconnecting the battery?! Do I need to reset the alarm somehow!? Or did a wire come loose when I was taking the interior apart?? Please help, I need to try to resolve this tonight!

P.S. the alarm was professionally installed by a shop (which is of course closed at the moment), and all I have is the user guide, not the installation guide.
The buzzing sound is a relay that isn't getting enough voltage, I've heard a couple of autostart pieces do this on the parklight relay. Check all fuses on the Autostart or pull them for now and have the person who installed it check it over.

k i yanked four fuses. here's a picture of the fuses i took out. i didn't remove any fuses from the actual fuse box in the truck, just these four inline ones.
it no longer chirps or buzzes, but i still can't start my truck. the dome light came out, but when i turned the key, it just went click and the dome light turned off. is it just a matter of getting a boost now?
