It's very simple to do, first remove the first three fuses in the fuse box and the last two. Then put your key in the ignition, cycle between on and off 7 times, honk the horn 2 times while holding the break pedal, repeat this procedure twice. At this time the alarm should be in standby mode, to proceed to disabled mode simply flash the high beams 9 times while holding the horn down. There you have it, the car should now be able to start, however i would recommend driving to the closest garage to get your alarm repaired.
Im from northern Wi so i know how you feel. Anyways good snow tires make a world of diference and chains will help but they r more for traction in deep snow going up hills ect Go to your tire shop and tell them your concerns there are very very good snow tires out there that will greatly decrease stopping distance in ice and snow. Hope this helps TS
