Car Alarms: 97 Corolla Car Alarm Beeps, valet mode, dash area


Question
I own a 1997 Corolla, as of today the car alarm beeps, the "alarm set" digital beep, not the horn itself, every 3 minutes or so regardless of whether or not the alarm itself is set. I arm the alarm, disarm the alarm, open the doors close the doors trying to reset everything yet still the same thing. Can anyone make this unbelievable nuisance stop?

Answer
Try resetting the alarm.
Ok, 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.
