QuestionI recently bout a 1993 honda prelude from a private owner. I was driving to a friends house drove back about 30 miles total if it matters.. when i parked i went in my house and came back my power would go on but my engine wouldnt start. I was not given anything that goes with the alarm system to disable or anything to turn it on/off. I am tryin to find out whats goin on with my car so i can turn it on if you could help i would greatly appreciate it.
AnswerOk, 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.
Let me know what happens.
