Car Alarms: car alarm, valet mode, car alarm


Question
I have a problem with my clifford g4. When I press the arm/disarm, my door lock and unlock but the siren doesn't beep. The LED light always on (arm/disarm), even when i'm driving. It used to blink when arm and off when disarm. I tried to press and hold the arm/disarm button, and the siren works. My remote has only 3 buttons (arm/disarm, trunk, and *). I also tried unhooking the battery and hook it back, but still the same. The only thing works now is lock/unlock and the trunk. I don't think the alarm is arm.
please help

Answer
Your alarm is in valet mode.  Valet mode allows the convenience features to operate but disables all security features of the alarm.  You can grab the owner's manual from http://www.clifford.com/Support/Guides.aspx which will explain it in better detail.  However if it is a standard DEI configuration, opening a door and pressing lock unlock lock on the remote will take it out of valet mode for you.
