Car Alarms: Alarm wont disable upon jump starting, jumper cables, dash area


Question
Hello,
I left my lights on and the battery went dead.  I have an aftermarket Code-Alarm.  Upon being hooked up to a portable jump battery the alarm sounds and will not disarm.  It's sound is a 5 pulse alarm that I have not heard before.  I subsequently tried to jump with a real car hooked up to no avail.  With the jumper cables hooked up there is enough power (apparently) to run the alarm but not enough to dis-arm the system.
Please advise and thank you,
Chris

Answer
The trouble there unfortunately is once it powered
down, you apparently lost programing. The bad part
there is I do not have Code Alarm's programing
procedure to offer you.
Try valet overiding the system until you can
locate a Code Alarm dealer who might be able to help.

With code alarm, the LED and Valet overide button
may be one in the same.

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)
or in this case, the LED itself
might be the valet button as well,
until the installed LED (the blinking light)
in your dash area goes on solid,
and the siren chirps once.

This should reset the alarm.

Try to find a Code Alarm guy quick now, or you
should start looking to replace it.

Good luck.
