Question
I have a 93 mitsubishi 3000 gt with a gargoyle alarm system and just recently it will go off after i unlock the car with the remote and then open the passenger side door if i open the drivers side shut it and then open the passengers side its fine its very wierd and i cant use the remote to turn it off i have to pop the hood and disconnect the battery to shut it up???it all happened a couple weeks after my battery cable came unplugged could it have reset something in there?

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

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.
