Car Alarms: Prestige Security System Audiovox, dash area, little spring


Question
I bought my car new in 1999 and also got a Prestige Security System Audiovox alarm installed when I bought my car.  It is now 2008 and just having trouble today as my car alarm did funny things today as it was set off on its own and went off two times; i now want to start my car and it does not start and had a jump start as well and my car still does not start; i tried flicking the switch at the bottom and still does not start and my car is a standard; what can i do as i need my car.....please help

Answer
Try this:

You'll need to set off the alarm for a few seconds.
Then, 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.

At this point. the alarm would have reset.
If this had a starter kill relay installed,
it would now be opened, and the engine would
turn over when tried.

You would repeat these steps to go back to
user mode to see if this was corrected.

But if it does work, I'd keep it this way, and
replace the alarm asap with one you know and
understand how it operates for the best overall
experience.

Let me know if it works for yours.
