Thank you for your prompt reply. I looked for the valet/overide button, but I can't find it. Can you tell me where it is located on my model?

Hello,
I bought a used 1991 Mercury Grand Marquis, and it was fine for two days. Now the car does not respond to the remote. The alarm sounds, the LED light on the remote blinks, but it will not silence the alarm or make the door buttons respond. I can't start the car, because as soon as I turn the key in the ignition the alarm sounds and the car won't start. Please help me to deactivate the alarm. Thank you.

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.

Answer
This would be an aftermarket system. Most installers would
put it on the left plastic kick panel cover, our
under the dash area somewhere hidden away from sight.

You would need to look around. The 91 Grand Marquee
did not have a remote controled car alarm as standard equipment. This was put in after the sale.

Good hunting & Good Night.
