Car Alarms: Car alarm hell, chirps, car alarm


Question
Okay, I have a 94 toyota wagon with an aftermarket alarm. We lost the
remotes a while ago and haven't used alarm since we moved to a small town
last summer. My wife left the keys in the ignition by accident the other night
and the battery drained, I guess. So we went turn on the car and the alarm
went off and the car wouldn't start. No problem, I thought: I will push that
override button under the dash! Unfortunately, it had broken and there was
nothing there to push this time. Just a piece of the hardware without the little
push part. It was as if it had become unscrewed and fell off. Just a hole now.
So, I just don't know what do to do. The alarm keeps restarting every time I
try to do something. I would like to avoid having the car towed and paying for
this security system to be removed. I don't need the alarm. Can someone
help quickly, please.

Answer
Ok then, get over to the local car alarm shop,
or even a Circuit City or Best Buys will
have a valet switch that will fit for your
alarm.

In the mean time, cut off the switch part,
leaving the 2 wires that were connected, free.

Then twist together, turn on the ignition,
hold both wires to ground until the siren chirps.

That should reset and place the alarm into
over ride for now. Nothing accept the keyless entry
if installed will operate until you repeat the
same steps.

Then get a new switch and you're all set.

Have a good day.
Let me know if you were
successful.
