Car Alarms: out of valet, valet mode, grand am gt


Question
the alarm on my '98 Grand Am GT is in valet.  How do I arm the alarm?

Answer
If it's after market 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 hidden away spot,
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.

If it's factory, there are other issues you
will have to deal with.

That should do it.
Let me know what happens.
