Car Alarms: car alarm, keychain light, valet mode

Question
i have a 1998 civic ex. The remote for the keyless entry will not disengage the car alarm.  I do not know if the alarm is aftermarket.  my car is unlocked, so i do no know how the alarm got engaged without locking the car in the first place.  the keychain light still lights up so i didnt think it was a battery problem though ive tried changing the battery anyway, still didnt help. the car will not start with the alarm engaged so i cant move it. please help!

Answer
Hmmm, might need to be evaluated by a tech to
trouble shoot the issue. Until then, to try to disarm it,
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
( 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.
