Car Alarms: what is Valet, starter wire, dash area

Question
Hey I have an alarm system for my 2001 Lincoln LS V8.. But I noticed in my glove compartment their was a button that said Valet.. It was pushed out.. now if I push it in what would it exactly do?

Answer
In this case a valet is also an overide for the alarm
system installed. Normally, this is as follows:

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, until the installed LED
(the blinking light) in your dash area goes on
solid, and the siren chirps once.

This should reset the aftermarket 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.

It is also used to program new remotes,
but you would need the manual for it
to get the procedure.

I hope this helped to understand it.

Good Luck.
