Car Alarms: killswitch problem - truck wont turn over, dash area, flip switch

Question
i have a 2000 ford ranger and whwhen i bought it it came with a kill switch. last night night i was at my buddies house i tried starting it and nothing would happen, not even turn over. this has happened before but it has never lasted more than 2 minutes. i'm 99 percent certain the kill switch is aftermarket. i've tried disabling it before, but i just gave up. now that i'm stranded at my buddy's house and extremely mad, i'm going to give it another shot. what exactly am i looking for?

Answer
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,
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/override the alarm.

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

That should do it.
If you want to remove it at this point,
take it to your neighborhood installer
for this, or buy the wiring chart for
the vehicle, and reverse engineer it wire
by wire, until it's safely removed.

If it does not work out this way, you will have
to replace the system with one you know how
to operate and what to expect.

Let me know what happens.
