Car Alarms: 97 alarm on Jeep Cherookee, valet mode, dash area


Question
My Jeep has an aftermarket alarm and when I went to start the vehicle last night, the engine sounded like it was trying to turn over but the the alarm that hasn't worked for over a year turned on and shut the start try down. After that, just a click. I don't want the alarm in because I have no way to disarm it. I believe it's a kill chip aftermarket alarm and I need to get to work tomorrow. HELP!!!!!!

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.

I hope this works for you problem.
