It's a 2000 you wont have the red jumper in your fuse panel, that is for later cars that have electric release. Yours is manual using a cable release.

Honestly, just pull the seat out and check the fuse, should take you all of 10 minutes.

the way you describe it is that the handles can't be pulled up, which is cause the car was locked. There is a pin that gets put into place that prevents the handles from being pulled up. Your car thinks it is locked & the alarm is armed.

Also by checking the fuse we mean checking to make sure it isn't blown. use a multi-meter, dont rely on a visual inspection. Wouldn't be a bad idea to check all of your fuses at the panel, should only take about 10-15 minutes to do this.
