Car Alarms: deactivating alarm system, valet mode, dodge 1500


Question
I have a 1995 Dodge 1500 5.2 2 wheel.  I have a what appears a factory alarm system.  It activates itself occasionally.  It is now activate and my remote is old and will not shut down the system so I can use the key to start the truck.  I have found a relay that I can hand operate the relay and start the truck but the lights blinking are still activate and since it is stopped I would have to use the same way to get the truck started.  Do you know of anyway to devactived the system, not permanantly but just as the remote would do?

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.

That should solve the troubles.

Let me know what you discover.
