Car Alarms: Disabling Car Alarm, 1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX, mitsubishi eclipse gsx, 1999 mitsubishi eclipse gsx

Question
I purchased a used 1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX a year back. The dealer said it came with the factory alarm in it. It's a little remote with three buttons on it. The words for the buttons on it have faded off, but I assume they're lock, unlock, and panic. When I press the lock/arm button, the car locks and security light on the dash flashes green for a few seconds. When I press the unlock/disarm button it, the interior lights inside flashes on and off and car unlocks at the same time. From time to time, the alarm will just go off on its own. Probably something with the doors. My problem is, turning off the alarm when it goes off. There's only three buttons on that remote and not one of them turns the thing off. When the alarm goes off, the horn honks over and over again repeatedly as the parking lights flash. This continues for a few minutes.

I need to find a way how to turn that thing off when it goes off.

Answer
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.
