Car Alarms: car alarm, mercury villager, valet mode

Question
i have a '95 mercury villager, whom i inheritied from my dad who passed away last october, i never really had a problem with the alarm system [ due to the fact i forgot it had one, it doesn't make the siren noise anymore] last night of all nights it goes off, me not knowing about cars thinks it died, i had a tow guy come over and explain to me that the alarm was going off, and unfortunately missplaced the remote somewhere. on the bottom of my steering wheel i noticed a on/off switch and he messed around with it until it finally stopped. the car started up and boom i was off. this morning the alarm was on again, i tried the same technic, but the switch is all over the place, i checked under again and noticed a wire hanging way under near the pedals, with a red like button switch thing, would this be part of the alarm? im afraid of touching it because i do not know how to fix cars

Answer
Ok, let's use that button you found. 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
( if this is a remote starter, the antenna on the
front window glass may also have the over ride
button inset into it.)

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.
