Car Alarms: chapman alarm, dash area, flip switch

Question
Sir,
We purchased a 97 4runner from the local dealership this jan. Earlier this week, the ignition switch went out and I had to get a new one.  After installation the alarm goes off when i went to start the vehicle with the new key.
I'm sure that there is a procedure that resets the alarm but I don't know what it is.  Since we did not get a remote with the purchase of the vehicle there is no way to reset by pushing a button ( or is there?)
On some of the older systems I remember that you had to close the door and lock it with the key but I guess that I'm  not following the right protocal.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!

Answer
Right,
Ok, try this.
Put the key in the ignition, and turn forward
all the way just before cranking. Then within
5 seconds, press and hold in the valet/overide
button, found under the dash area, usually to the left
of the leg, drilled into a plactic panel,
until the installed LED (the blinking light)
in your dash area goes off, and the siren chirps twice.
(Your valet switch might be the toggle (on/off) type.
in this case, key on, flip switch in oposite direction,
key off.)

This should reset the alarm.

Now at this point, take it to a car alarm technician
for inspection and repair. Should not be much really,
if simply resetting or, replacing a fuse if needed.

That should do it. :>)

Let me know how it goes.

Nah, glad to assist. Use the "fee" money &
go get a new remote to control it for the convenience
or buy another. Either way, my pleasure.

Happy Holiday's Mr. C!
