Hi,

I am in the proccess of trying a buy a 97 awd wagon (apparently quite rare), the car has been sitting without a battery as it supposedly needs a head gasket. when i connect a battery, and turn the key to the on position, the alarm goes crazy and the car wont start.

Is there a way to shutoff/override the alarm? i have a key, but no FOB.

Ben

put the battery in, closes all doors, lock and unlock the drivers door with the key

If that doesn't work for some reason you can bypass the alarm relay. Remove relay 210/211 and then, on the 210 side of the relay socket, install a jumper wire between the socket positions associated with pins 50E and 50F on the relay.
