Car Alarms: Problem in car alarm system 2000 Mazda 626 ES, car alarm system, valet mode


Question
I had recently taken my Mazda to a garage to fix the tires, but after that all of a sudden the anti theft alarm does not seem to be working. When I lock my car it used to blink all the amber lights twice and activates the anti theft system. This I can know from the red light on the dashboard blinking.
But now this is no more happening, seems to me like the same has been disabled.
Is it some fuse problem or has it been disengaged?
If so how can I enable the system again?

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.
