Car Alarms: Car alarm, valet mode, acura legend


Question
I have a 1991 Acura Legend with a factory car alarm.  The alarm sounds (horn beeping) when I open the door with the key, after disabling alarm with key the car shuts down it will not turn over or anything? Is there a reset button or how do I disable the alarm? I do not have a key pad.

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.
