QuestionI don't know how to deactivate the alarm. I bought the car a month ago and have tried using the key everywhere without success.
There is a switch under the steering wheel that can be set to ON, Shock or OFF. I turned it off and then disconnected the battery, But I would like to know how to use it. The car also honks briefly every once in a while, so I don't know if it is totally disabled.
Thank you, Gene
AnswerNot sure what aftermarket system you have
there, but 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.)
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.
If you want to remove it at this point,
take it to your neighborhood installer
for this, or buy the wiring chart
(Go to: www.vehiclewires.com)
for the vehicle, and reverse engineer it wire
by wire, until safely removed.
Let me know what happens.
