QuestionYou answered a similar question to mine back on 4/3/2007 for a '99 Isuzu Rodeo and I saw some others. In each answer you say to "locate, press and hold in the valet/override button, found under the dash area, (push button, spring loaded)" but there is no override button. I've checked, AAA checked, with flashlights, it's not there.
There's no sound, just flashing tail lights & dash. And the OEM (definitely OEM) "Security" switch on the dash to the left of the steering wheel has a red blinking light. Car won't turn on. Goes dark, dead as a doorknob, then 5 mins later looks like a Christmas tree again. Process repeats.
How do I disable it? My mechanic (by phone) said I needed to bring it in. But he's not an isuzu specialist either (just bought this car used 2 months ago, first time it's happened) and it seems like I should be able to pull a fuse or something to simply disable it?
Help! Please!
Thanks!
AnswerOk, an installer would place the velet switch in a semi
hidden area. I'd look under the dash area
for a button or, a toggle switch. When you locate it,
turn on the ignition key, press and hold in the
button (little spring loaded micro button, red or
black possibly), until the alarm chirps 1 time.
This should over ride the system, and only the
keyless entry part, if installed, would still be
operating.
The LED (light emiting diode) light in the dash
should also go on solid.=VALET/OVERIDE
This stops the alarm except for the keyless
entry if installed. Once in Valet mode,
it will allow the car to start and operate
like there was no alarm at all.
The next step is if wanting to remove it,
you contact a local technician to
locate it, and affect neccesary service
for you.
That should solve the troubles.
Let me know what you discover.
