QuestionThe Factory alarm on my Malibu, has some problems, my aunt gave me the car, but before she did it seat with the battery dead for a year, well when i got it, the alarm does not want to work right, it does not want to set/arm lick it should, and the lights no longer flash when you lock and unlock the doors(are the supposed to) and if i unhook the battery it will seat and work right for a day or two, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
AnswerShould be no problem really.
It appears from your expaination, that the
after market car alarm is in service mode.
Ok, try this.
Put the key in the ignition, and turn forward
all the way just before cranking. Then within
5 seconds, press and hold in the valet/overide
button, found under the dash area, usually to the
left of the leg drilled into a hidden away spot,
until the installed LED (the blinking light)
in your dash area goes off, and the siren chirps twice.
(Your valet switch might be the toggle (on/off) type.
in this case, key on, flip switch in oposite direction,
key off.)
This should reset the alarm.
Just Repeat these steps to place it
back to valet mode.
That should do it.
Let me know what happens.
