Car Alarms: Car Alarm, 2004 hyundai elantra, hyundai elantra

Question
I have a 2004 Hyundai Elantra.  Last night at 3am I noticed an alarm going off outside.  When I went outside, I heard an alarm that sounded like my factory car alarm but much fainter.  I locked, unlocked, pushed on my alarm button and even started the car but the alarm would not go off.  Finally I popped the hood and unhooked the battery.  I waited 20 minutes and tried to hook it back up but the alarm kept going off. What is wrong with my car alarm.

Answer
It's likely to be an after market system.

To try to disarm it,
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.

This would reset it. Repeat the same
steps to go be into user mode.

That should solve the troubles.

Let me know what you discover.
