QuestionThat is helpful I will try that but also it appears there was an aftermarket alarm but removed and there are two buttons installed below one is a rocker type springloaded with a led under rocker and also a on off button type with red and green light red for on and green for off tucked under the steering column. I attempted to try these and had no results but not the way you said so I am going to try this. With all this wouldn't be best to go with aftermarket alarm to start fresh with new system and a remote being I don't have one with this old system. If so what is a good alarm to install.

Question -
I have a 97 dodge avenger and the factory alarm is not allowing me to start my car i have tried turning the key in the door and also at the ignition as my owner manual states and still nothing. I don't have the remote and want to disarm anyway and put on a aftermarket alarm so I have an updated alarm and also an remote. Can you tell me how to disarm the alarm
Answer -
This problem is also an aftermarket alarm issue.
The factory alarm is controlled by the remotes
locking and unlocking the doors. In your
case, there is also a starter kill relay inline
from an aftermarket alarm. You need to bypass this
before you can start the engine.
At least we know it's installed correctly
which is actually a good thing here.
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.

AnswerAbsolutely. Always best to know the capabilities and aspects of the security installed. I would most definately
replace it now, and get in something useful for your needs.
