Car Alarms: Security Problems, valet mode, dash area


Question
I have a 03 Acura 3.2TL-S and have the factory alarm system on it. I had a shop do some work on my car and ever since I got it back when I lock the doors the security light wont flash on the driver's door and if I hit the lock button on the remote twice it wont chirp anymore. Any ideas?

Answer
Should be no problem really.
It appears from your expaination, that the
after market car alarm is in service mode.

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, usually to the
left of the leg drilled into a hidden away spot,
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 oposite direction,
key off.)

This should reset the alarm.

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

That should do it.
Let me know what happens.
