Car Alarms: after market car alarm problem, valet mode, battery cables


Question
I recently had to remove battery cables from battery to clean.  when i replaced the cables an alarm siren went off. i only have a flat key no chip.  now the engine will not start how can i find and disable this anti theft device, i have looked under the hood, under the dash, by the fuse deck, ect. cant find a disabling switch or button please help!

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.
