Car Alarms: My stupid alarm, valet service, dash area


Question
I have a 97 Honda Accord that I bought from some lady.
It came with an alarm system, I have no idea if she bought it with or had installed. Anyway I took the battery out and then replaced it and cannot get the alarm to go off so i can start the car. I ended up just unplugging it + car starts fine but I want the alarm on. I don't know how to reset it. Any ideas?

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.
