Car Alarms: Alarm wont cut off, dash area, button spring

Question
Please help, I had a Carbine alarm installed when I first purchased my 1997 Mustang.  I was in an accident last year and someone ran into my driver side door, but after the car was repaired the alarm just never worked properly.  I cut the wires to the siren hoping that would solve the problem; I figured the factory installed alarm would sufficient, but the lights still blink and at times the car won’t start.  

Question, is there a way for me to just unplug the starter disable device so I won’t get stranded again.  I tried to find the small box that I see comes with the kit but couldn’t find it and don’t know what to do when I do find it.

Thanks so much in advance for you help


Answer
The aftermarket alarm seems to be doing it's job.
At least we know it's installed correctly
which is actually a good thing here.

Ok, try this.
Put the key in the ignition, and turn forward
all the way just before cranking. Then within
5 seconds, locate, press and hold in the
valet/overide button, found under the
dash area, (push button, spring loaded)
until the installed LED (the blinking light)
in your dash area goes on solid,
and the siren chirps once.

(Your valet switch might be the toggle
(on/off) type. in this case, key on,
flip switch in opposite direction,
then turn the key off.)

This should reset the alarm, and reset
the grounded relay on the starter wire,
allowing you to start the engine.

At this point, the only thing working would
be the keyless entry from the alarm,
if it came equipped that way.

Just Repeat these steps to place it
back to usable armed mode.
You may get 2 chirps, confirming it,
and the lights may flash twice as well.

That should do it.
If you want to remove it at this point,
take it to your neighborhood installer
for this, or buy the wiring chart
(Go to: www.vehiclewires.com)
for the vehicle, and reverse engineer it wire
by wire, until safely removed.

If it does not work out this way,
you will have to replace the system
with one you know how to operate
and what to expect. Don't want to
get stuck in another bad situation.

Let me know what happens.
