Car Alarms: 1998 jeep cherokee 4.0 sport alarm, valet mode, auto electrician


Question
hope you can help,wierd things happening with the alarm,
this is a uk car.the key fob will not disengage the alarm and also the red led is now not lighting up on the dash.
my local auto electrician has had the vehicle 5 weeks now and cannot get it started,he rewired some burnt out wires
from under the steering column which led up into the roof area,but still not disarming.the battery has been removed so does it
need resetting? can i override/ disable the system?
please please help i cant walk any further.....

Answer
It's an after market system since this truck
does not have a factory system.

Probably dealership installed when
it was purchased originaly.

To start, 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.

Let me know how it goes.
