Car Alarms: carbine 4600+ no start, valet mode, jeep wrangler


Question
I inherited a 96 Jeep Wrangler with the above mentioned alarm. The alarm appears to be working,at the time, but the engine was running rough, so it sat for a year before I could get to it. I replaced the dead battery & rebuilt the carburator and now I get no cranking when I turn the ignition key. I tried the valet mode as you have indicated in previous Q&A sessions to no avail. I can use a starter button directly from the postive batt terminal to the starter and the starter spins but still won't crank. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Answer
Ok, an installer would place the velet switch in a semi
hidden area. I'd 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.

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.
