Car Alarms: Sidewinder not functioning - solid LED, no chirping, valet mode, nissan maxima

Question
Hi!  I have a Sidewinder alarm installed on my 1999 Nissan Maxima.  I've noticed recently that there is no longer a chirp when I arm or disarm the alarm.  The automatic locking works; but when the doors are locked the LED is solid and not blinking.  

I believe that the siren still works because it went off for a short while when I started pressing the remote buttons randomly.  

Your help to resolve this is greatly appreciated!  Thanks in advance!  

Answer
Ok, 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.

Let me know what happens.
