Car Alarms: 2004 Aveo Car alarm, valet mode, dash area


Question
I have a 2004 Aveo with a factory car alarm. The alarm just recently started having a mind of it's own. Not only does it go off almost constantly when armed, but once disarmed, it will arm itself again all on its own. (That means locking the doors as well)

Do you have any knowledge on how to disable the system all together? I really don't want to pay a high repair cost. After all, who wants to steal an Aveo anyway?

Thanks

Answer
It's an after market system
from your description.

To simply disarm it, locate and use the
valet/overide switch.

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. Repeat steps to put into user
mode.

Let me know how it goes.
