Car Alarms: alarm on 98 plymouth voyager, plymouth voyager, valet mode


Question
Our van locked itself and the keys were in it, but not in the ignition.My husband broke into it, and then there were no gauges or wouldn't start. His buddies jumped the starter and got it home. I figured it was locked down and something to do with the keyless remote. we only have one and it doesn't seem to work right so we don't use it , but it is in the van.I figured out how to disable the alarm to get lights and gauges, but itstill won't start.

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.
