Car Alarms: protectronics alarm for 1997 Honda Accord, dash area, little spring


Question
I lost my key and my locksmith is making one for me now.  But he needs to turn off the alarm - Protectronics Sabre Shadow alarm. He said there should be a button on the dash but he can't find it. Is there some other place that this button would be?

Answer
Ok, try this:
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.
