Car Alarms: viper car alarm - old users manuals available, jeep wrangler, dash area


Question
I purchased a used car(1997 Jeep Wrangler) that has an after-market alarm in it.  The wireless control (two button)says 'viper' on it.  I did not receive any alarm owners manuals etc. with the car, and I am having a lot of trouble trying to get the alarm to work.  It has aparently been in some sort of dormant state since I purchased the car 2 years ago. Recently, I needed to replace the car's battery.  It sounded the alarm after I removed the cables from the battery, and has been functioning 'normally' ever since.  I found a reset switch under the dash, and have been able to use it to turn the alarm off (with the ignition key turned on) for the last couple of weeks, but I am still having problems with it (sometimes the reset switch doesnt work etc.) Is it possible get operators manuals/instructions, and how would I do so? Or if not is there another option?

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 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.
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.
