Car Alarms: 2001 mustang gt convertible, valet mode, dash area


Question
there is a small red blinking light/plug at the bottom of my dash board. for the first time ever i noticed this light blinking, and while it is blinking the car wont start. its never done this before and we cant figure out what the problem is. eventually the light stops blinking on its own and then the car starts just fine. any help would be appreciated.

Answer
Right, 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/override
button, found under the dash area, usually to the left
of the leg, drilled into a plastic panel.
Might even be part of an on glass antenna
in the windshield if it's a remote starter,
until the installed LED (the blinking light)
in your dash area goes off, and the siren chirps twice.
(Your valet switch might be the toggle (on/off) type.
in this case, key on, flip switch in opposite direction,
key off.)

This should reset the alarm and allow you to
go on your way.

Just Repeat these steps to place it
back to valet mode.

That should do it.

Good luck.
