Car Alarms: MOPAR EVS Base System, valet mode, jeep wrangler


Question
I just purchased a used 2005 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited from a dealer
in Florida. Just before I picked it up, the dealer installed a new battery in the
vehicle. Before the battery install, the EVS alarm system worked fine (chirped
when you pushed the lock button on the fob... and again when you unlocked
it).

Since the battery install, the lock no longer will chirp when you push the
buttons. It will however turn on the overhead lights when you push the
unlock button on the fob.

So far I haven't been locked out, but I'm afraid it'll shut down the vehicle
some day when I really need to go somewhere. Is there a way to totally reset
the alarm system? There is a LED button on the dash and a master button
under the dash.  Any ideas?

Thanks

Answer
Should be no problem really.
It appears from your expaination, that the
after market car alarm is in service mode.

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, 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.

That should do it.
Let me know what happens.
