Alarm/Security Manual & FOB Manual Reset Instructions or Manual

So the good news is I got the whole unit out and I found the fuse, which I changed (7.5).
The bad news is, still no chirps or anything alarm related for that matter by unhooking the battery or following the valet switch instructions. I did ask find an unused ground wire. Maybe from the bump sensor?
Could the alarm unit be bad?

Ok, so when its all plugged together does the red led either on the steering column or cigar lighter blink ? What is the part # on the alarm box and keyfob ?
Also the last 6 numbers of the vin. Does it have a build date on the door post ? The ground wire looks like the one that goes up to the antenna. look right up to where the antenna comes through the body and the cable joins the antenna and see if it is missing

I don't appear to have an LED on the steering column or near the cigar lighter. So I wonder if the alarm is working at all. It seems from the forum that if the alarm is not working the car won't start so maybe it's been bypassed? Or maybe someone replaced the backup battery so I'm not leaving the battery unhooked long enough? I can't make out the number on the FOB and I don't see one on the alarm. Pics attached.
Car was built 2/93.
Last 4 VIN 187517
Given that everything works (I have read all the nightmare alarm posts about incessant chirping and car not starting), should i just look at an aftermarket solution for central locking as that's what I'm really after? As I understand it, the current central locking mechanism will not work without the alarm.

Okay, the light is hard to see or find. It should be at about 10-11 o'clock on the column when facing your steering wheel. It is no bigger than the size of a LED. If you have a black column, like I do, use a flashlight to see it, especially if it isn't blinking. Aside from knowing that, Malc4d is the man who may be able to get you through this.

If you have a 318Mhz system then you might be able to use the one from my 94 donor car.
Everything worked on the system and i have a couple of fobs from that system.
Since I'm going to be away from the computer, please call or text me TOMORROW @ 650-455-1110.

Greetings from the Seattle, Washington area!
I have a ‘94 AJ6. My car didn’t come with alarm remotes, so I bought two on eBay. I was able to program both of them and they worked just fine. For about a week. Then the car stopped recognizing them. I programmed them a second time and they worked again, but after about another week they stopped working. Ugh.
I bought a factory alarm key fob to try that. Now, I can’t get my car to recognize it or my eBay remotes. The car enters learning mode and continually beeps, but it won’t recognize the remotes. I know it sounds like it should be the key fob batteries. But they were new not that long ago.
So, I have two questions:
1: Why is my alarm losing contact with my remotes after they have worked for a week? Could a weak car battery do this? I do have a slow drain.
2: Why won’t my alarm when in learning mode recognize my remotes?
Thank you for any advice!
