Car Alarms: DISARM KILL SWITCH/ALARM, wire colors, dash area

Question
I BOUGHT A USED CAR WITH AN ALARM ALREADY INSTALLED. THE REMOTE WILL NO LONGER UNLOCK DOORS EVEN AFTER I PUT NEW BATTERIES IN. THE REMOTE IS EXCALIBUR 3 BUTTON. WITHOUT THE REMOTE I CAN'T START CAR BECAUSE THE KILL SWITCH IS ACTIVATED. I WANTED TO KNOW SINCE I CAN'T USE THE REMOTE IF THERE IS SOME WAY TO DEACTIVATE THE KILL SWITCH? ALSO WHEN YOU PUSH THE BUTTONS ON THE REMOTE THE LIGHT STILL COMES ON. MY CAR IS A 90 BUICK CENTURY. I USED TO BE ABLE TO HIT THE BUTTON 3 TIMES TO DEACTIVATE BUT NOW IT'S DOING NOTHING. PLEASE HELP.

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 in most cases,
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 wire colors/locations in your car,
and reverse engineer it wire
by wire, until it's safely removed.

Let me know what happens.
