Car Alarms: dead car, valet mode, prestige alarm


Question
i drive a Ford Focus LX 2001 and the other night leaving my job it wouldn't start.
i tried jumping it and it wouldn't work. so i pushed it home. but now my car
wont respond to the key what so ever. i have a Prestige alarm system in it and i
was wondering if maybe it was the kill switch that might have gotten activated,
and how if possible to remove the system and reset my car

Answer
Ok, an installer would place the velet switch in a semi
hidden area. I'd look under the dash area
for a button or, a toggle switch. When you locate it,
turn on the ignition key, press and hold in the
button (little spring loaded micro button, red or
black possibly), until the alarm chirps 1 time.
This should over ride the system, and only the
keyless entry part, if installed, would still be
operating.

The LED (light emiting diode) light in the dash
should also go on solid.=VALET/OVERIDE

This stops the alarm except for the keyless
entry if installed. Once in Valet mode,
it will allow the car to start and operate
like there was no alarm at all.

The next step is if wanting to remove it,
you contact a local technician to
locate it, and affect neccesary service
for you.

That should solve the troubles.

Let me know what you discover.
