To reset the alarm on a 2002 Chevy Malibu, you have two choices. One method is to pop the hood and remove the positive battery cable for about 30 minutes to drain the power in the CPU, which will prompt the system to reset itself next time it's turned on. Alternatively, you can take out the fuse from the fuse box and wait a similar amount of time. This approach will have a more specific impact, solely resetting the alarm. If you opt for the battery cable method, it will reset more than just the alarm. For the fuse method, you'll need to reference the fuse diagram to identify the correct fuse.
