Car Alarms: Lost remote, mitsubishi eclipse, dash area

Question
Hi,
The keyless alarm remote for my 1998 Mitsubishi eclipse has been lost.  Is there a way to disarm the alarm so that I can actually use the car without the alarm going off?  I fear the remote ended up in the garbage by accident.

Answer
Likely that it's an aftermarket alarm so there would
be a reset or valet switch under the dash area,
that would help you out. But you'd need to
tell me if there's an LED flashing in the dash
when that happens, and if a siren is sounding,
and the parking lights flashing at the same time
you can't start it, then it is indeed an
after market alarm. The next time this happens,
try the following:

Put the key in the ignition, and turn forward
all the way just before cranking. Then within
5 seconds, locate, press and hold in the
valet/overide button, found under the
dash area, (push button, spring loaded)
until the installed LED (the blinking light)
in your dash area goes on solid,
and the siren chirps once.

(Your valet switch might be the toggle
(on/off) type. in this case, key on,
flip switch in opposite direction,
then turn the key off.)

This should reset the alarm, and reset
the grounded relay on the starter wire,
allowing you to start the engine.

At this point, the only thing working would
be the keyless entry from the alarm,
if it came equipped that way.

Just Repeat these steps to place it
back to usable armed mode.
You may get 2 chirps, confirming it,
and the lights may flash twice as well.

That should do it. Then get a replacement system.

Good luck.
