Car Alarms: alarm goes off and car will not start, valet mode, dash area


Question
My kid is away in college and he went to get in his 98 integra and the keyless remote would not work. He used the key to unlock it and opened the door. The alarm started going off so he put the key in ignition and tried to start. The car would not start. The keyless remote light stays on which tells me it is bad. I took it apart and one of the transitors fell out. We found a box under the dash it says delta security systems. we tried to disconnect the plugs and start still nothing and alarm still goes off.. Can you please help us out? Thanks

Car Alarms: alarm goes off and car will not start, valet mode, dash area
Override
Ok, should be fairly easy. 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

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.

That should solve the troubles for now.
Repeat the steps to toggle back to valet when needed.

Let me know what you discover.
