Car Alarms: Carbine alarm problem, valet mode, dash area

Question
My car was fine. Parked it in a semi-public parking lot for a few hours. When I returned, the tail/brake lights were on. Car wouldn't start. Jumped it and got it running. But, the rear brake lights will not go off. And, the key fob alarm control doesn't seem to do anything ... doesn't activate/deactivate alarm and doesn't control the (after market installed) power door lock. I tried pulling/re-installing what I think are all the alarm fuses (3 of them) hoping to reset the alarm. No affect. In case there was another under the dash that I was missing, I disconnected the battery. Re-connected it and the rear brake lights came right back on. Any quick fix ideas or do I need to take it to a shop?
Thanks very much!

Answer
Ok, we know from
this description (good one!)
that it is in long tamper mode...

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
(If it's an older Carbine, the switch
may be a toggle type. Then it's
KEY ON, FLIP SWITCH IN THE OPOSITE DIRECTION,
KEY OFF. This would be over ride.

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.

That should solve the troubles.

Let me know what you discover.
