Car Alarms: re: kill switch, valet mode, dash area


Question
I bought a 99 eurovan w/ an aftermarket alarm w/ power door lock function.  I
had to replace the car battery and the car won't start because the kill switch is
enabled.  The remote won't do anything but lock and unlock doors.  The LED
light is flashing like crazy.  All I want to do is start the car, I really don't care
about using the alarm.

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.

That should do it.
Good luck!
