I posted this in the Service area without any replies... wondering if I might get some help in this area.

Hey all...
Embarrassing question really: I have a 2005 Mazda 3. I went to replace the battery and as i re-attached the positive end, the alarm went off. I could not get it to disarm at all without disconnecting the battery. Has anyone had this problem? Am I missing something?
