Car Alarms: Trouble after battery change, valet service, dash area


Question
When i switched the battery to my 97 suburban my alarm went off when i tried to start it.tired the remote but would not work. the only way to start was to disconnect battery and half turn ignition. after this the LED would not blink any more and alarm would not turn on. this lasted several weeks, thought i must have fried something and left it alone  now all of a sudden LED started to blink and alarm started to work. only problem is when i try to turn ignition the alarm turns on and disables the  car.the remote wont turn it off either. alarm seems to be factory installed. do i need to replace my remote or is there a way to disable alarm?

Answer
Gotcha, let's put it into valet/service mode,
and try to reset the alarm to default mode.

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.

Let me know if it works for yours.
