Car Alarms: 98 Honda Accord EX alarm keeps going off, alarmtek, honda accord ex

Question
QUESTION: Hello
My alarm keeps going off.  I don't use the remote since it snapped off my keys 2 years ago.  I have just been using the keys.  Now when all the doors are locked, the alarm goes off...Can the system be disabled and how?  I don't use it anyway...

ANSWER: The aftermarket alarm seems to be doing it's job.
At least we know it's installed correctly
which is actually a good thing here.

Ok, try this.
Put the key in the ignition, and turn forward
all the way just before cranking. Then within
5 seconds, locate, press and hold in the
valet/overide button, found under the
dash area, (push button, spring loaded)
until the installed LED (the blinking light)
in your dash area goes on solid,
and the siren chirps once.

(Your valet switch might be the toggle
(on/off) type. in this case, key on,
flip switch in opposite direction,
then turn the key off.)

This should reset the alarm, and reset
the grounded relay on the starter wire,
allowing you to start the engine.

At this point, the only thing working would
be the keyless entry from the alarm,
if it came equipped that way.

Just Repeat these steps to place it
back to usable armed mode.
You may get 2 chirps, confirming it,
and the lights may flash twice as well.

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
(Go to: www.vehiclewires.com)
for the vehicle, and reverse engineer it wire
by wire, until 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. Don't want to
get stuck in another bad situation.

Let me know what happens.

QUESTION: Thanks for your quick reply.  This is the factory 98 Honda Accord Alarm to which I am referring...

Answer
That's bad then, as you will probably need
the factory remote to solve this issue.
No quick disable here unfortunately
if it's the car's horn and flashing headlights
happening, other then key in the drivers
door, turn left, then right to disarm it.

Short of that working, it's off to
Honda parts for a new remote. :>(

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
