Car Alarms: Car Alarm, 2003 chevy suburban, valet mode

Question
I have a 2003 Chevy Suburban.  I have a question about my car alarm.  I belive my alarm is in "vallet mode."  The reason I say this is because it has happened before.  I took it to the dealer and they fixed it.  But they didn't tell me how it happened or how to fix it if it happened again.  It happened again...
When I lock my car the lights flash but the horn doesn't honk to tell me that it's locked.  But if I push the alarm button, the alarm does go off. And if I press the lock button more than once, the alarm will go off.
Can I fix this without going to the dealer?

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.
