Car Alarms: uninstall, chevy c1500, viper alarm


Question
I have a 1992 chevy c1500 with a DEI viper alarm. The previous owner's before me had installed the alarm, i dont know whether they installed it right of not. I have had the truck for about three monthes and about three days ago i was driving it, i did not have a problem with it at all. I put the truck in park shut it off and returned about 5 minutes later and the truck would not start. I am fairly mechanically inclined and i have never seen anything like this before. I tried to put it in nuetral, thinking that it might be the nuetral safety switch, but it was not. I tryed to cross-over the cylonide on top of the starter and it still did not work. Out of all the things that i have tryed, the only reasonable thing that i can think of is that the alarm is activated, and it shut down my starter, or electrical. If you have any idea of what would be the cause of this, it would make the world of difference.                   Thank You, Scott McDaniles

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 still 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.

Let me know what happens.
