Car Alarms: Alarm Brain, chirps, car battery


Question
QUESTION: I've been looking for the valet switch with the info provided on this site to disable the alarm when I plug the car battery in. Unfortunately, I opened the lower dash and found that the alarm brain's wire that is meant to lead to the valet switch leads to the wire stopping with a cap on it. No switch at all. So right now, can I go for a temporary fix and just pull the wires from the brain all together and at least be able to start my car? This is a 1995 alarm system, so I don't think it'd be too advanced would it be?

ANSWER: Ok then, get over to the local car alarm shop,
or even a Circuit City or Best Buys will
have a valet switch that will fit for your
alarm.

In the mean time, cut off the switch part,
leaving the 2 wires that were connected, free.

Then twist together, turn on the ignition,
hold both wires to ground until the siren chirps.

That should reset and place the alarm into
over ride for now. Nothing accept the keyless entry
if installed will operate until you repeat the
same steps.

Then get a new switch and you're all set.

Have a good day.
Let me know if you were
successful.

QUESTION: All right. Well, my problem right now is, if I don't mind the loss of the alarm system right now, can I just unplug brain and start the car? Because I can't right now with the alarm plugged in.  What did you mean by the "2 wires that were connected" and holding "both wires to ground"?
