Car Alarms: My Car Alarm Doesnt Work!, dash area, button spring


Question
My friend borrowed my car and everytime she borrowed it, the alarm would blare for 5 minutes before I would have to come out and fix it. I have automatic locks that no longer make the beeping noise to let me know when I've unlocked the doors and when I've locked it. I don't know what she did, but how do I fix it??

Answer
May need to be reset again to normal operating mode.

Ok, try this.
Put the key in the ignition, and turn forward
all the way just before cranking. Then within
5 seconds, locate, press and hold in the
valet/overide button, found under the
dash area, (push button, spring loaded)
until the installed LED (the blinking light)
in your dash area goes on solid,
and the siren chirps once.

(Your valet switch might be the toggle
(on/off) type. in this case, key on,
flip switch in opposite direction,
then turn the key off.)

This should reset the alarm, and reset
the grounded relay on the starter wire,
allowing you to start the engine.

At this point, the only thing working would
be the keyless entry from the alarm,
if it came equipped that way.

Just Repeat these steps to place it
back to usable armed mode.
You may get 2 chirps, confirming it,
and the lights may flash twice as well.

That should do it.

Let me know what happens.
