Car Alarms: acura alarm, valet mode, horn siren


Question
QUESTION: Hello I just bought a used 1996 acura integra with an acura alarm system. It seems to work as it should but makes no sound.I have read the manual repeatedly but cant seem to make it chirp or make the horn go.I am wondering where the main control box would be located so I can check the settings and see if this helps or if you can think of any other reason it would make no sound.  what works... lights flash, led works ,doors lock/unlock with fob.But NO sounds

ANSWER: Should be no problem really.
It appears from your expaination, that the
car alarm is in service mode.

Ok, try this.
Put the key in the ignition, and turn forward
all the way just before cranking. Then within
5 seconds, press and hold in the valet/overide
button, found under the dash area, usually to the
left of the leg drilled into a hidden away spot,
until the installed LED (the blinking light)
in your dash area goes off, and the siren chirps twice.
(Your valet switch might be the toggle (on/off) type.
in this case, key on, flip switch in oposite direction,
key off.)

This should reset the alarm.

Just Repeat these steps to place it
back to valet mode.

That should do it.
Let me know what happens.

QUESTION: well I tried that and the dash light flashed fast till i let go of the button but still no sound or chirps? I am thinking a wire may have been disconnected or the horn/siren switch has been turned off? but I still am not sure where to find the control box?

Answer
Then I suggest you get the wiring chart for the
Acura at www.wirewerx.com and pull the alarm.

But to be sure, it was:
KEY IN AND ON.
PRESS AND HOLD VALET/OVERIDE BUTTON UNTIL
ALARM SIREN CHIRPS, AND THE LIGHT FLASH
TO CONFIRM. TURN OFF THE KEY.

That's reset. Hopefully you simply missed a step.
