Car Alarms: alarm goes off while driving, mitsubishi galant, dash area


Question
My 2001 mitsubishi galant has a malfunction with the alarm system. I will be driving my car and then the alarm system will just activate the car still drives fine but first an extended beep with no breaks sounds for 30 seconds then subsequesntly the alarm will keep peeping like I am honking the horn. If i turn the car off it will not start again untill I disconnect the negative batery charge then reconnect it. This keeps happening and is very annoying. Any advice on how to make it stop?

Answer
You'll need to set off the alarm for a few seconds.
Then, 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.

At this point. the alarm would have reset.
If this had a starter kill relay installed,
it would now be opened, and the engine would
turn over when tried.

You would repeat these steps to go back to
user mode to see if this was corrected.

But if it does work, I'd keep it this way, and
replace the alarm asap with one you know and
understand how it operates for the best overall
experience.

Let me know if it works for yours.
