QuestionHi, My Accord is an English assembled vehicle. The factory installed alarm system will not arm itself. The four door locks work from the fob button but that is all. All indicator lights work if engaged manually. The dash board lights, ( door/boot indicator icons) all function perfectly.
just an aside: I had to load the boot in a hurry , I mean crammed everything in till there was no room left and after that it stopped working?
Any help would be appreciated.
AnswerMight be in Valet mode.
Let's 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.
Just Repeat these steps to place it
back to valet mode.
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 for
the vehicle, and reverse engineer it wire
by wire, until it's 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.
