ALARM NOT WORKING

OK MY CUZIN HAS A 95 C220 IF U LOCK THE CAR FROM THE OUTSIDE WITH THE KEY. AND TRY TO START IT WITH THE KEY, THE ENGINE WON'T TURN OVER AT ALL. IN MY CAR, IF I LOCK THE DOORS, WIT THE REMOTE, AND WAIT, THEN TRY TO START THE CAR, THE CARS STARTS FINE? WTF? AND ALSO, WHEN YOU LOCK THE DOORS AND OPEN FROM THE INSIDE OF THE CAR, THE ALARM WON'T EVEN GO OFF!! WTH! WAT IS WRONG WITH MY CAR? MY ALARM DOESN'T WORK! I CHECKED THE FUSES, AND AS I TYPE THE BATTERY HAS BEEN DISCONNECTED FOR ABOUT A DAY. I'M TRYING TO RESET THE COMPUTER. THIS IS NOT GUD MAN, MAKES ME FEEL NON SAFE BOUT MY CAR. WAT U GUYS THINK?

the alarm system on them isnt very good. but with the killswitch problem ur having its because u have to use the keyless lock button which then flashes red so the killswitch is engaged. if both red and green flash ur battery is dying

my '96 c280 had that safety where the car wont start if the doors were unlocked improperly. however, my '97 c280 and neither of my 43's actually do this, they just start right up... very weird...
