Car Alarms: checkmate alarm, valet service, dash area

Question
I have a checkmate alarm in a 2001 honda accord.  The red alarm light came on while I was driving.  When I hit the lock or unlock button it locks and unlcoks the doors but now there is no chirp for the alarm.  Worked fine for 3 years before this.  Husband thinks I may have hot something under the dash.  Any ideas??  Thanks

Answer
Sounds like it's in Service mode.
This may have happened after a series of
button presses inadvertantly putting it into
valet/overide.

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,
and should be usable once again.

Just Repeat these steps to place it
back to valet/service/overide mode.

That should do it.

Let me know what happens.
