Car Alarms: engine disable, valet mode, dash area


Question
I have a crime guard system. It's very old. The system arms itself and kills the motor while armed. Some times my remote won't communicate with the alarm. Therefore if I open the car manually and try to crank the car it won't start. how can I disable this feature? I'm tired of being stranded at the gas station.

Answer
Ah, ok. Look around for the valart switch to
place it into override for now.

Ok, an installer would place it in a semi
hidden area. I'd 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.
