Car Alarms: Lost Keyless Entry/Car Wont Start, honda civic ex coupe, valet mode


Question
I have a 1998 Honda Civic EX coupe. Factory alarm installed. I was stupid and left my keys in my pocket while shoveling snow. I lost the keyless entry w/ my spare key. I still have factory key but the alarm was armed and now I cant start my car. Probably immobilized. How can I reset the alarm or do whatever I have to do? Every time I open the door the alarm goes off. Help please! I need my car!

Answer
Ok, should be fairly easy. 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.

That should solve the troubles for now.
Repeat the steps to toggle back to valet when needed.

Let me know what you discover.
