Car Alarms: Miata Car Alarm..., valet mode, dash area

Question
Last night I had my lights on for about 20 min. with the door locked.  When I got back in the car I couldn't start it.  It's a '96 Miata M edition.  The radio would come on, but the car wouldn't turn over to start and the doors would ever lock back into place, and everytime I turned my lights on my horn would honk.  I do have an alarm that has a keyless entry but it has never worked the entire time I have had the car which is only a year.  The alarm keyless entry is the same one that is the in the is in all the pictures in the books and does have a flashing light right beside the steering wheel.  Is my battery dead or I am going to have to reprogram something with the alarm?

Answer
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,
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.
If you want to remove it at this point,
take it to your neighborhood installer
for this, or buy the wiring chart for
the vehicle, and reverse engineer it wire
by wire, until it's safely removed.

If it does not work out this way, you will have
to replace the system with one you know how
to operate and what to expect.

Let me know what happens.
