Alarm Not Working

Hey everyone. So here's my promlem, My alarm isn't turning on. When I use the FOB to lock the doors by pressing it 1 time all the doors lock just fine. But when I press it 2 times nothing at all happens. The side markers don't blink, it doesn't beep (the beep setting is turned ON) and the red light next to the lock doesn't blink at all. The little red light on the radio DOES blink. All the doors are completely shut and locked and trunk too. I didn't realize it didn't work until after I got the car (I know, real dumb) I would LOVE some help. Sorry for the long post. Thanks everyone.

Have you checked your fuses?

It must be sensing that something is open or unlocked. One of my rear doors doesn't lock with the FOB, so I can keep pressing the lock button and won't hear the beep till I manually lock that rear door. Make sure all the door locks are locking when you hit the lock button or something else might not be making contact.

I thought it might be a fuse but when i pulled off the panel under the dash none of them were labeled Alarm. I'm I missing something?

All 4 Doors lock just fine with the FOB. Wouldn't the little orange car pic on the dash show an open door or trunk if they didn't?

That's right. I know the door is completely shut because the dome light turns off and all the doors lock with the FOB.

it could be the trunk switch or hood switch as the alarm won't arm with those things open.
