I hate cheap tools and parts but harbor freight has a set for $3 or something with crimp-on terminations you may find useful. It has the red/blue/yellow stuff, one of which should fit.

Thanks for the tip!

I just read where one person just cut the wires that were jumped and spliced them...said it worked fine. He did this after completely removing the alarm module from the harness. I wish Clark's would have offered this alternative solution..I wouldn't have wasted my entire day.

Anyone see a problem with that method? also Someone suggested pulling the wires from the keyhole alarm and joining them...making a closed circuit.

Don't do it. I did that and the alarm went off in either connected or open configuration. I think there must be a resister in the switch so the alarm must see a particular voltage.

I think the idea was to remove the actual alarm module and close the circuit. Sounds like you left yours attached?
