Car Alarms: alarm not working, valet mode, hyundai accent

Question
i own a 1997 hyundai accent and for some reason my alarm has completely stopped working a few days ago. when i use the remote, the car locks and unlocks normally except that there are no alarm chimes (2 for unlock, 1 for lock), the lights do blink normally though. also now the alarm won't even go off if i open a door. it used to go off if a door other than the driver's was opened, and you couldn't start the car if the alarm was going. now there's no alarm and the car can be started at anytime. please help!

Answer
Should be no problem really.
It appears from your expaination, that the
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.
