Car Alarms: disabling the alarm for 97 honda accord special ediiton, valet mode, dash area


Question
I washed the remote control a while back and it dosen't work anymore. but tonight, I went to start it and the alarm started going off. It mustav armed itself I had to abandon it at dairy queen tonight because I couldn't find a valet switch for it I believe it is oem. Is there a way to override the system/alarm and if not can I just buy a new remote? and would you know if I need the remote programmed?

thanks for your help.

Answer
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. The next step is to
either remove the alarm or, try to identify,
and get new remotes for it.

But once in Valet mode, it will allow the car
to start and operate like there was no
alarm at all. Repeat steps to put into user
mode.

Let me know how it goes.
