QuestionHi,
I think this car has a factory alarm. Last night it was cold and about 11:00 PM the alarm began sounding about every 15 minutes -- blowing the horn repeatedly and flashing the lights, as well as the hazard blinkers on the dash. I could stop it with the key fob remote, but it would start up later. Finally I disconnected the battery to disable it. After reconnecting the battery today it was OK for a few hours, then started up again. I opened the door with the key and that also stopped it. Then I disconnected the battery again. Can you help me restore the system to normal, or disable it? Thanks.
AnswerYou'll need to set off the alarm for a few seconds.
Then, 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.
