QuestionHow do you disable a factory car alarm. The doors either unlock on their own
and or also the alarm goes off when ever it feels like it even when parked in
the garage. I want the door locks to work all together as suppose to but want
the car alarm disconnected. There is no 30amp fuse for it under the hood.
(tried) still goes off. Unable to locate a box under the dash with a little red or
black button, took dash apart, not there. Not even in the console area
between the seats.
Can you help out?
AnswerHmmmm, No "factory" alarm offered
on any 2000 Kia Sportage, so it's after market.
Ok, here's what I know...
It's an after market system from your description.
Probably dealership installed when
it was purchased originaly.
Try putting it into Override, and the keyless
entry should still operate.
Locate the VALET/OVERRIDE switch.
To start, 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. The next step is to
either remove the alarm or, try to identify,
and get new remotes for it.
But once in Valet mode, it will allow the car
to start and operate like there was no alarm at all.
Good luck with this issue.
