Car Alarms: after market alarm, chevy silverado, valet mode


Question
About 13 months ago I bought a 1996 Chevy Silverado from someone on the street. That person put an after market alarm on it never had a problem till my battery died 1 week ago. Put a new battery and now I can't disarm my alarm. I even bought a battery for the remote and it won't shut it off.But I can't start it neither. Can you please help me disconet the alarm so I can use my truck again? Or can you tell me what fuse to remove to deactivate it. Thank You

Answer
Ok, should be fairly easy. 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.

That should solve the troubles for now.
Repeat the steps to toggle back to valet when needed.

Let me know what you discover.
