Car Alarms: non-chirping alarm, valet mode, jeep cherokee

Question
I have a very used 96 Jeep Cherokee with a "Python" alarm with remote start
that was installed prior to my ownership.  The Jeep went in for an oil change
an came back without the usual chirp when you arm or disarm.  I can still
remote start and lock and unlock the doors and the panic alarm functions
fine.  My guess is there's a way to get the chirps back using the remote or the
ignition key...any ideas?

Thank you,
Ian

Answer
Should be no problem really.
It appears from your expaination, that the
car alarm is in service mode.

Ok, try this.
Put the key in the ignition, and turn forward
all the way just before cranking. Then within
5 seconds, press and hold in the valet/overide
button, found under the dash area,
until the installed LED (the blinking light)
in your dash area goes off, and the siren chirps twice.
(Your valet switch might be the toggle (on/off) type.
in this case, key on, flip switch in oposite direction,
key off.)

This should reset the alarm.

Just Repeat these steps to place it
back to valet mode.

That should do it.
If you want to remove it at this point,
take it to your neighborhood installer
for this, or buy the wiring chart for
the vehicle, and reverse engineer it wire
by wire, until it's safely removed.

If it does not work out this way, you will have
to replace the system with one you know how
to operate and what to expect.

Let me know what happens.
