Car Alarms: Aftermarket alarm, honda prelude, dash area


Question
Hi, my 97' Honda Prelude recently had a dead battery, so I replaced it and upon doing so my car's aftermarket alarm will not shut off. This alarm consists of the parking lights flashing and an annoying siren. Since the previous owner installed the alarm I have no idea what to do. Any input would be highly appreciated. Thanks...

Answer
Ok, try this Omar.

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.
