Alarm/Panic button doesn't work

I have a '98 SE and the panic button on the key fob does nothing and the factory alarm does nothing either, but the "security" light blinks once I lock the doors.

Help

Well the button on the remote could be messed up. Could be messed up wiring for the alarm part.

I never tried to push that "panic" button. But, last time, I left the driver side window down and hit "lock" button. Then I realized it, I tried to save some time by opening the door from inside. And the alarm went off. Then I found it really works.
Could be the wiring problems mentioned by Cdg~

Well I believe any button turns off the alarm. At least the unlock/lock. If my alarm goes off I usually hit the lock button.

My remote has 4 buttons. Lock, Unlock, Trunk and Light. If you want to turn on the alarm - hold Lock button for a couple of seconds. Light button only turns on dome light inside the car.
