Car Alarms: car alarm stopped working, valet mode, odyssey battery


Question
My 2001 Honda Odyssey battery one morning was just dead no warning nothing but jumped right off without even a spit or a sputter and hasn't even acted like it didn't want to start since then but my alarm isn't working and hasn't worked since the morning the battery was dead. Locks okay but no alarm. What happened and how can I fix it?

Answer
No idea why, but it sounds as if you are in over ride.
Should be no problem really.
It appears from your expaination, that the
car alarm is in a "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,
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.
