Car Alarms: Anti theft not enabling in 04 Hyundai Elantra GLS, hyundai elantra, valet mode

Question
Hi!

My Remote is working for unlocking/locking the car but the anti-theft is not enabling (which is done by double pressing the lock button). I had gone in for getting a headlight replaced (they said that they didn't disconnect the battery) and it has stopped working after that.

Any advice on how to troubleshoot it would be great.

Thanks
Moh

Answer
It appears from your expaination, that the
after market car alarm is in service mode.

Ok, try this.
Put the key in the ignition, and turn forward
all the way just before cranking. Then within
5 seconds, press and hold in the valet/overide
button, found under the dash area, usually to the
left of the leg drilled into a hidden away spot,
until the installed LED (the blinking light)
in your dash area goes off, and the siren chirps twice.
(Your valet switch might be the toggle (on/off) type.
in this case, key on, flip switch in oposite direction,
key off.)

This should reset the alarm.

Just Repeat these steps to place it
back to valet mode.

That should do it.
Let me know what happens.
