OK here's how mine works (this is assuming you have the factory alarm)

 

First you have to turn the switch to the ON position while the truck is running. The truck then has to continue to be running for a good five minutes at least (in my experience that is).

 

Then when you turn the engine off the alarm will activate, and the light should start blinking. You then have a minute or two to get out of the truck and lock it. If you sit around for a while in the truck the alarm will still activate, and when you open the door to get out the alarm will start going off.

 

Also it could be that the previous owner installed an aftermarket alarm and disabled the stock alarm when they did so.

There is no alarm light on the dash in my 95. sounds like you have an aftermarket.

 

Stock system, if the switch is turned to "on" or "impact off", you can passively arm the system by locking all doors then closing it. The red led on the switch should flash fast for about 30 seconds then you should hear a beep as the system is armed. The light then slow flashes.

 

IF the system does not arm, you might have an open switch sensor. I found that in mine. it thought the hood was open due to a bent pin on the control module.

 

remotes can be found on ebay for anywhere around 15 to 50 dollars depending on the condition. The FCC ID is G57NTX318 if you need a search criteria.
