Car Alarms: 1992 Acura Vigor Factory Alarm, acura vigor, valet mode


Question
I went to unlock my door, I turned the key and the alarm went off, I usually just turn the key again and the alarm will turn off but not this time.  After a couple of minutes I pulled the fuse for the horn to silence it, tried the key again no joy so I disconnected the battery cable so that the battery does not drain.  I would like to know how to disable the alarm, does not matter if the alarm does not work again or not, or maybe a fix, anything that would work.

Answer
It's likely to be an after market system.

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 to remove the alarm.
This might require a local technician to
identify it, and affect neccesary service for you.

That should solve the troubles.

Let me know what you discover.
