Default Truck Won't start

99 Ram Extended Cab Diesel 4x4

Brought truck in to have fuel filter replaced, battery was disconnected. Now when we re-connect batery alarm disables the truck, it won't turn over. When alarm is turned off lights all over the dash begin to flash. Tried disconnecting again, messing with ignition and alarm, nothing seems to work, the alarm seems to have disabled the truck.

Any ideas on how to bypass or disable the alarm manually or any other suggestions? I have also had some problems with the ignition..e.g. the truck would stay on after key was removed, or could be started wthout key...this happens every now and then, after turning the ignition a few times it seems to act normally. Don't know if the two are related but could be.

tks

Sounds like you've got a wiring problem nightmare there... Sounds electrical, and that's a major pain to track down.
