Car Alarms: 2000 dodge ram 1500 wont start, dodge ram 1500, valet mode


Question
my 2000 dodge ram 1500 will not start. when i turn the key the power turns on(lights,radio turn on) but the engine wont turn. i checked all the fuses and the starter, everything is good. i asked a mechanic friend of mine to come by and check it out. he said the "alarm brain" went bad. my alarm is a viper 850xv. should i try taking the whole alarm out? if so, how?

Answer
Ok, 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.
