Car Alarms: 1997 subaru outback factory alarm, valet mode, subaru outback

Question
My factory alarm is malfunctioning in my 97 outback. The parking lights will not turn off and the car will only start after I manually reset the alarm. I have to disconnect the battery to turn my parking lights off. I do not want to put any money into the car, I just want to know how to completely disconnect the alarm.

Answer
Ok, should be fairly easy. 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.

That should solve the troubles for now.
Repeat the steps to toggle back to valet when needed.

Let me know what you discover.
