QuestionMy fiancee's car arlam started going off as soon as she opened the passenger door and nothing she has tried can turn it off. She can't start the car and the alarm starts sounding again every time she tries to do anything. It is all original as far as I know.
AnswerBen,
If it's the factory alarm, go to the
drivers side door, put the key in the lock
and turn it all the way left then right, when
the "alarm" is sounding. That will disable it.
If it's an aftermarket system, then it could
be more complicated. Tell me, is there a siren
and are the parking lights flashing (not the
headlights)? If not, then it is the factory
system and it should disenguage as suggested
above. If aftermarket, 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 comes on solid.
(Your valet switch might be the toggle (on/off) type.
in this case, key on, flip switch in oposite direction,
key off.)
This should be valet. This overides
the starter kill relay in the alarm harness,
and returns the car back to disarmed mode.
The only thing that will work now on your system,
is the keyless entry if installed.
Just Repeat these steps to rearm your system.
That should do it.
Let me know.
