QuestionJust bought it and it has an alarm. Factory I believe. WOuld like to disarm because I only have one button and if that fails I could be in trouble. Tried to unlock the door with the alarm on with the key to see if that turns off the alarm but it doesn't. Hate alarms...Any way to disconnect it without paying big bucks? SHow me how and I'll send you a check!
AnswerK, this truck did'nt come with a factory alarm,
so...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.)
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.
Then remove the alarm and use it
as a door stop!
No check necessary, but a nice review
is always welcomed......
Let me know.
