QuestionI have recently been having problems with my battery connection. I took it apart and cleaned it up so I could start it up. Now when I hooked up the battery again my car alarm went off. My remote would not turn it off. I go to mess with the remote after the alarm has gone off and I can hear it click but it does not unlock the doors or turn off the alarm. I can not start my car because of this. Do I need to reset my alarm or is something else wrong with it? How do I reset my alarm?
AnswerIt's likely to be an after market system.
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 to remove the alarm.
This might require a local technician to
identify it, and affect neccesary service for you.
That should solve the troubles.
Let me know what you discover.
