Car Alarms: Factory and aftermarket alarm on 2000 chevy tahoe, chevy tahoe, valet mode


Question
Good afternoon"! I had a question mainly pertaining to what I believe is the aftermarket alarm on my 200 chevy tahoe. When I brought my truck, I didn't receive a keyless remote 4 either on, but 4 some reason 2day I keep hearing a chirp coming from under the hood and now it will not crank. I have never heard this b4, that's what lead me 2 believe, its a aftermarket alarm causing it 2 not crank, how do I disable it, and the 2nd thing that bothers me is the fact the security light was on in the dash, could this be the factory system also? Mind u, I don't have any remotes, and I don't know what kind of alarm the aftermarket is. Thanks in advance!

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.
