Take off the cover above the glovebox. Find two pin white connector with two green wires on one side at least. Unplug alarm wires from this connector and hunt for a matching connector fitted with a short loop of green wire taped to the loom nearby. If it's there, pull it free and plug it into the now empty socket.
If it's not, cut the alarm wires a couple of inches from the plug, solder them together and insulate, preferably with heat shrink tubing.

Look at the main car loom across the top, not the alarm box looms.
