Car Alarms: 96 Mitsubishi Eclipse Alarm/Starting Issue, mitsubishi eclipse, dash area

Question
Hi,

My brother-in-law has lost his remote to his car alarm for his car, and when we go to start it the car alarm activates and we cannot start the car.  The alarm does not activate when we open the door, only when we try to turn the car over. From what i can tell the alarm is built into the ignition system and if the alarm is not disabled then the car will not start. There is no fuse for the car alarm, but when we pull the ignition fuse the alarm stop.  I'm looking for a way to disable the alarm or that feature of the alarm so we can drive the car.  I'm sure there is a way to do it we just haven't figured it out yet.  Please help us!

Answer
The alarm seems to be doing it's job.
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.
