Car Alarms: 2002 Mazda Protege ES, valet mode, dash area


Question
I am having trouble with my security system. It will not turn off. I found the box for the security system and disconnected the fuse. The alarm turned off, but the car will not start. I was reading another question where you suggested to press the valet/override button, but i cannot find it on my car. Do you have any Idea where it would be?

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.

Just Repeat these steps to place it
back to valet mode.

That should do it.

Good hunting.
