-----Question-----
My alram started going off randomly in the middle of the night one evening. I do't know what I did to get it to shut off but I did. In the morning I assumed the problem was over with so i went out and opened the door and it started again. and Now I can not even start the car to get it to shut off. I took the horn fuse out so I won't get killed by hten neighbors, but also, I am now with out a working car, How do I disarm the alarm, then how do I disconnect it? thanks for your time, and help.
-----Answer-----
Ok, 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.
If you want to remove it at this point,
take it to your neighborhood installer
for this, or buy the wiring chart
(Go to: www.vehiclewires.com)
for the vehicle, and reverse engineer it wire
by wire, until 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. Don't want to
get stuck in another bad situation.
Let me know what happens.

AnswerNo there is no valet switch on a factory alarm.
I sell these wiring charts for cars to run this
business of mine. If you want all the info on how to
find what's needed in a specific vehicle,
go to www.mywires.com and I will send them along
by email for you to troubleshoot/repair or remove
any aftermarket system attatched to the wiring,
or locate the fix locations to disable the OEM
alarm.
But if it's aftermarket, follow the info I sent
to you last time to reset.
