Car Alarms: My Car Alarm wont let me turn on my car!, windshield wipers, valet mode

Question
Hi there,
It's a very cold day out and I went to turn my 2001 Hyundai Accent on, but the engine wouldn't turn over. All the lights were working, windshield wipers and radio. The I noticed the red light for the alarm was flashing and if I left my door open, instead of a constant beeping it was going in sequences.
Two years ago, my alarm had gone off, but we had cut out the horn and it had reset my alarm where I didn't have use of my key fob anymore. So I've lost it. And now I don't know how to fix this problem. What can I do besides calling a tow truck...bad time of the year to be spending extra money that I don't have :)

Answer
Ok, we know from
this description (good one!)
that it's 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 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.
