Car Alarms: 00 Kia Sephia Wont Start, kia sephia, valet mode


Question
We bought the Kia from an impound, and it didn't come with a remote for the alarm. We recently disconnected the battery to install a new horn, and I think it armed the alarm system, because now it won't start. Is there any way to disable the alarm system?, I just want the car to start.

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.
