Car Alarms: RE:Alarm, valet mode, dash area

Question
I recently purchased a used van with an alarm and keyless remote switch that both worked fine.  I recently had a new ignition switch put in the car and I believe the dealer turned my alarm off or put it in valet mode.  I can not get it to work and the keyless entry is not working either ( The remote battery is good) The alarm is needed as I work in not the best of places.  The alarm I have consists of a toggle switch under the dash and a green LED light under the steering wheel and a keyless remote. Right now the led light is off.  The alarm when working protected all points of entry and activated if the door was locked and anyone pulled on the handle if that helps.  Any ideas on how I can turn my alarm back on?   The van is a 1994 Ford van model 350 with a V8.

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.

Let me know what happens.
