Car Alarms: Viper Alarm, valet mode, dash area

Question
MY KEYLESS ENTRY AND PANIC STILL WORKS BUT WHEN I LOCK THE DOORS IT DOESN'T SET THE ALARM. IT HAS A 2 BUTTON REMOTE AND USED TO CHIRP ONCE WHEN LOCKED AND ARMED AND TWICE FOR UNLOCKED UNARMED. DO YOU KNOQ HOW TO GET IT BACK TO CHIRPING AND ARMING? THANKS

Answer
Sounds like it's in Valet or in silent mode.
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,
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.
If you want to remove it at this point,
take it to your neighborhood installer
for this, or buy the wiring chart for
the vehicle, and reverse engineer it wire
by wire, until it's 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.

If it slipped into silent mode, look at the
TRC install manual at the feature setting
and remote function on how to toggle from
audible and inaudible.

Let me know what happens.
