You may be able to disable the alarm, by opening the door with the key. Or pull the fuse, to the alarm system in the fuse box. Open your key fob remote, and check the internal 3v battery as well. It could be dead, or the (outer) case buttons are not making contact with the board which has the actual buttons on it. When pressing the buttons manually on the board they should make a "click", else wise they are the source of your problem in the remote.
There are over 20 reasons why the Kia Sedona computer will not allow this vehicle start. I found two of them to be the nightmare from hell, and diagnosing usually requires the computer hooked up at one of the automotive parts stores or a mechanic coming to you. Unless you have been really paying attention to symptoms, you will need that help first before the repair.
Most cars of that vintage have a large "master" fuze near the battery. Ford uses a fusable link (pain to replace), but most others use a large fuze that bolts in to the fuze box. It looks like a square, the size of a postage stamp, with two metal rings for the bolts coming from each side. Cost about $5, try jumping that and replacing it if bad.
There are six plugs in the Sedona. The motor is turned 90 degrees from which way we are accustomed to seeing one in a vehicle..
First remove the six bolts (10mm) that hold the engine cover on. You also have to remove the oil cap to take this cover off.
The front three plugs and their corresponding coils are in the front and fairly accessible as you can follow the spark plug wires to them. It is best to disconnect the battery before doing this work.
You will have to remove the three corresponding coils to the front three sparkplugs. You use a 16mm spark plug socket to remove the spark plugs.
The back three plugs are under the intake manifold cover. This is a difficult and awkward removal to get the cover off, because the back bolts are very difficult to access. Please watch the video to follow the details to get it off. The next three sparkplugs are under this cover.

This video was a good example what to do with the plug and coil once removed for maintenance.
And, another girl mechanic!
How many miles does this vehicle have on it, it could have jumped time, might be water in gas, could have weak spark from coil, it might just be flooded, need a tune up or other electronic parts could be bad.
I would go to a auto parts store buy a service manual and folllow their information to resolve problem..
Have you checked to see if it is getting a spark from plug wires at the connection to your plugs.
you have 2 of the 3 components necessary to make an engine run. You have compression , spark and now all you need is fuel. check why the injectors are not allowing fuel into the manifold. ( low fuel pressure-pump not working--no pulse to the injectors) check that all the wires and harness connections are properly connected . run a fault code check
hello. there is only a small amount of oil in the a/c system, about 1/8th of a cup so that's not the leak your seeing. they probably didn't tighten the oil filter good enough or stripped the drain plug. the a/c is probably not working because they unhooked a line and now the seal is leaking. you need to put in some leak detection die into the a/c system to see where its leaking. also you can test the Freon pressure with a gauge you can buy at an auto parts store. Make sure you check the engine oil level so you don't seize the engine from running with no oil.
The fuel pump is in the gas tank and access in inside the van between the first row and second row of seats. The access is covered with a carpeted cover and then another metal cover which screws into the gas tank. Then there is a cover top of the assembly.
You must use a brush and clean off all the areas before removing the pump or the dirt will get into the gas tank. Disconnect three electrical connectors and two fuel lines. Mark the fuel lines so you are not confused to put in the new one. The electrical conectoers are individually different from each other.
2005's do not screw into the tank, they have clips. The clips have tabs imbedded into the top so you know where they are located to disengage them.
The tank lifts out and the float mechanism requires you to live it up and then tilt and shift it to get the float mechanism clear of the gas tank hole.
Here it is
