-----Question-----
I recently purchased a 1999 camaro. When i bought it the alarm system worked just fine. but when i got it home, i went to use to lock the doors with the remote and when i hit the lock button instead of hearing the standard single beep, there where two consecutive beeps. and as i was walking away the alarm went off for no reason. now every time i lock the doors with the remote or by pressing the lock button inside the car, the alarm goes off about 5 seconds after. if anyone can help me please contact me. thanks.

Please tell me what you are experiencing.
I need to determine whether it's a factory alarm
issue or, if it's an aftermarket system you are
dealing with.
Many veriables on this vehicle &
I Require a bit more imput please.
Is it: Headlights flashing, car horn honking
and a worded SECURITY" light in the dash flashing?
Or,
is it: flashing parking lights,
an LED in the dash area, and a siren
going off?
Let me know more on this to better
advise you on a course of action
to take, to help you to fix this
situation you're in quickly.

This is a factory system.
The headlights are flashing and the horn is honking
but the security light is not coming on.
When I push the lock button the second time to stop
the system from going off the red LED light on the dash double flashes,
I think the system is still armed.
I know there is something not right, please help.
AnswerOk, 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.
Let me know if this worked.
