QuestionWe have a 94 Isuzu Rodeo that has the Clifford Concept 10 alarm installed. The alarm drains the battery and goes off at odd times. The remotes are also now no longer working. We just want to turn it off so that it never comes on again. What is the easiest way to do this? Can you advise on how we can do this? Currently the vehicle is not driveable because we can't get the alarm to shut off. Would appreciate any help!!
AnswerI'd remove it Jean. Get the wiring chart for the truck
at www.vehiclewires.com , and then reverse engineer
it wire by wire, remove the starter kill relay inline,
and repair the wiring.
If it has a valet button/switch, try putting it into
overide until you can do the de installation.
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.
I hope this helps out.
