Car Alarms: Hyundai Excel Alarm, valet service, hyundai excel

Question
My daughter bought a 1998 Excel about a year ago.  Had a flat battery which we replaced, but now an alarm keeps going off and the car won't start.  We never even knew it had an alarm!  Red light is flashing continuously, hazard light flashes, but car won't start.  Any help appreciated.

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.
