Car Alarms: alarm viper, exact model number, valet mode


Question
I pushed the silent button of my viper alarm and now i can not activate it to
sound when i lock the doors.?
i dont know how to make my alarm sound again. i have tried some combinations but
nothing proved to be usefull. so the doors are closed now but the alarm doesnt
sound. what should i do...

> so i got this answer : Open the door, press lock unlock lock.  It sounds as if you have put the system in valet mode.  This will take the system out of valet mode.  If this does not work, post the exact model number of your system and I will see what I can do about finding your owner's manual.

> but please understand i'm a 23 year old girl so i really don't know about cars and alarms please do axplain what the exact steps are. should i open the door with the viper alarm or just try opening it with the key ? and the lock-unlock-lock? And after that should i just close the door again and lock it with the alarm or with the key ??

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.
