QuestionQUESTION: We are replacing the battery in the car and the car alarm started going off. Had to disconnect the battery to get it off. We bought as a used car, so didn't even know it had a car alarm. Don't have a key pad and don't know if factory installed or installed after. Help!
ANSWER: Please try to locate the valet switch
to overide the alarm.
If you would read some of the previous
posts I made on this subject, you will
see the procedure to toggle into and out
of valet/override mode. It allows
you to set and reset the starter kill mechanism
as well as all other standard alarm features.
This should also apply to yours.
Good luck with it. Should do the trick.

QUESTION: where's the valet switch and what does it look like?
AnswerLook 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.
