Car Alarms: Missing valet switch thingy, square hole, chirps

Question
Hi, I've got an aftermarket alarm on a 97 Avalon. A repair shop lost the thing
that goes into the valet switch -- a little square hole under the dash. I don't
know if a key goes in there or what; there's a red light on it which never goes
on. If you lock the car, the alarm goes off for no reason, usually in the middle
of the night, so we never lock the car. I'm doubtful about finding a
replacement valet mechanism -- it's a Nutek alarm system -- so could I just
bypass the valet switch by taking the wires out of it and splicing them
together? You wouldn't have a valet switch, but at least the alarm would work
again. Thanks for any guidance.

Answer
BROKEN VALET SWITCH:

Ok then, get over to the local car alarm shop,
or even a Circuit City or Best Buys will
have a valet switch that will fit for your
alarm.

In the mean time, cut off the switch part,
leaving the 2 wires that wer connected, free.

Then twist together, turn on the ignition,
hold both wires to ground until the siren chirps.

That should reset and place the alarm into
over ride for now. Nothing accept the keyless entry
if installed will operate until you repeat the
same steps.

Then get a new switch and you're all set.

Have a good evening.
Let me know if you were
successful.
