Car Alarms: 1999 isuzu rodeo anti-theft, isuzu rodeo, 1999 isuzu rodeo

Question
I have a '99 rodeo that has some type of factory anti-theft system and was wondering if there is some a kill switch with these systems.  Yesterday we were not able to start the car.  I notice that the LED light for the security system still blinks when the key is placed in the ignition.  There is nothing wrong with the starter or anything this is the first time its happened since we bought the car and figured there may be a ignition kill security feature installed in these vehicles

Answer
If this is indeed the factory alarm, no this would
not have a starter kill for this year of vehicle.
But if you are certain it's the OEM system,
you would insert the key in
the drivers door, turn left, then right
to disarm and reset it. If yours is malfunctioning,
you can disable it for good by doing the following:

The FACTORY ALARM DISARM WIRE IS
yellow/blue |-| Located in the
drivers kick in a white plug.
Trigger the power unlock and the factory alarm
disarm wires at the same time to disarm the alarm.

Once Located, splice into either wire with
a simular guage wire, and put it to
a solid chassis ground. This terminates
the alarm functions entirely.

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.

Now you have both ways
to solve this one.

Have a good day.
