Car Alarms: 1998 acura integra autopage xt-59, autopage alarm, acura integra

Question
QUESTION: hi, i have a 1998 acura integra ls. my autopage xt-59 was put in the washing machine and no longer functions. I locked my car with it before it was broken and now if i open the door the alarm is going to go off. How do i turn the alarm off since the autopage no longer works?

ANSWER: You'll need to set off the alarm for a few seconds.
Then, 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.

QUESTION: do you know the actual location of the button or toggle, and how do i know if my alarm has a starter kill relay installed? thank you so much

Answer
I think the Autopage alarm will/would have an over ride
switch, and if installed right, it would be under
the dash area near the left leg/knee, drilled into
the plastic somewhere. And if it has starter kill,
when the alarm is "going off", you could put the key
in the ignition, and try to start it, but NOTHING
would happen. No attempted cranking, nada, zip, zero.

Welcome.
