Car Alarms: Alarm Problem in Ford Probe, valet mode, car alarms

Question
Hi. I have bought a Ford Probe 95/96 few months ago. There was an old alarm, but I didn't get romote for it. I was told that alarm does not work anyway. Something was draining battery all the time, so I disassembled that alarm yesterday. After that I check car and it started with no problem. But today car does not start. There is factory alarm in car (anti-theft) with indicator on instrument cluster. I found FACTORY ALARM DISARM WIRE
(yellow/red) on the back of fusebox and wired it to ground. It did not help. I don't know what I suppose to do now. Help me, please! I read that you are an expert with car alarms. Sorry for my english, it is not perfect yet. Best regards, MARCIN...

Answer
Hmmm, might need to be evaluated by a tech to
trouble shoot the isse. Until then, 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.

The next step is if wanting to remove it,
you contact a local technician to
locate it, and affect neccesary service
for you.

That should solve the troubles.

Let me know what you discover.
