QUESTION: I have looked at those answers and I must not be asking the question correctly, I want to disconnect the alarm permanently. The alarm goes off every time I attempt to unlock the door or put the key in the ignition. Something is wrong with the alarm or a sensor.
Sorry if I am being dumb. But I don't see a past response that tells me how to do that. This is for a 1997 Honda Accord 4cy LX
Thanks
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.

QUESTION: I have looked high and low for a switch under the dash, does all alarms have that switch? I believe this a factory installed security system.
AnswerOk, if it is the OEM / FACTORY system,
this system depends on the physical action
of the door lock locking and unlocking-arming and disarming.
If you have a factory remote, that would do this to
specifications.
This can only be achieved 3 ways:
1. Use key in the drivers door, turn left,
then right to disarm and unlock.
2. Add an after market keyless entry system to emulate
the factory remote functions. I have several models
if this option suits you.
3. Acquire or use & or, replace the original remote that
can control it as specified. This would be at the
local dealership parts department.
(This is why there is no wire you could ground
without affecting the door lock system.
A single negative pulse to the unlock wire will disarm
without unlocking, yes, but would always disable the
locking mechanism. Not good.)
Keep in mind, if this is after market
(siren and flashing parking lights)
then it's a different method entirely.
The standard method to disables as follows:
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 emitting diode) light in the dash
should also go on solid. If it's a toggle type,
then key on, flip the switch in the other direction
This would be OVERRIDE/VALET mode.
Repeat this process to toggle back to service mode.
