Car Alarms: Alarm system??, valet mode, toyota camry


Question
I have a 93 Toyota Camry, I have had four years.  It has an alarm system that was not (at least I didn't think so) working when I bought the car, and I never had any remotes for the car.  Battery died, I replaced it.  Apparently that reset the alarm, because now the lights blink when I open the door.  I re-attached the previously cut wire to the siren, and it works too. The car will not crank at all, and I have been unable to locate any kind of switch, valet switch, etc.  This car is an old beater, I just want to uninstall or permanently disable the alarm system so I can drive the car.  The only evidence I see is the shock sensor that is under the dash, which has a sensitivity knob on it and, of course, some wire running to it.  The only other evidence is the siren itself and the wires running to it.  I need to drive this car, the gas in my F250 is absolutely killing me.

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.
