Car Alarms: car alarm, valet mode, hail damage

Question
Dear Sir,

I have a 2004 hyundia elantra sedan GT.  I took it in to get some hail damage fixed and when I got it back the alarm is not working.  Took it back to the body shop to see if they might have flipped a switch to turn it off, but they could not figure out why this happened.  The remote keyless works to locka nd unlock the doors ,but nothing as far as turning alarm on and off.  Any ideas?

Answer
Should be no problem really.
It appears from your expaination, that the
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.
