I bought an '94 acura vigor from aa tow yard and they didnt have the original key for it. so i took out the actual tumbler to have a friend fit a key for it. i am still able to start it. i lock the doors and when i returned to the car, opened the door, just like i usually do, and the ''alarm'' goes off. its just blinking head lights. i cannot start the car now. i tried putting the tumbler back on it but it didnt do any good. niether did taking a battery cable off and on or messing with the fuses. can somebody help
SOURCE: Alarm activated everytime I use the key to open the door.
very common issue with the vigor, it`s the power door actuator or something...there are 2 ways to fix it:
- the harder way (unless you`re half-decent at DIY car stuff, which I`m not), all you really are doing is cleaning the contacts..a detailed guide is here

- OR the easy way is to just trick your car into thinking the hood is open so the alarm will never arm itself. Taken from another post:
You can effectively permanently disable the alarm (who actually bothers to respond when they hear a car alarm anyways?) by opening up the hood and finding the little switch that detects whether the hood is closed. Just bend this so that the alarm system always thinks the hood is open and the alarm system will never arm even if you lock the doors.

Check for brake fluids and make sure all the brake fluid container is closed tightly. Also, you make have to bleed the brakes.

try turning the key on then taking the +side off then turn key off and reconect+

The front brake rotors are press fitted to the front wheel bearings and are removed from the car with a special tool (puller) or can be seperated by removing the whole assembly and placing it in a press to seperate them. You may damage the bearing if not done right.
