Car Alarms: ANTI THEFT ALARMS, alarms system, theft alarms


Question
I HAVE A 89 NISSAN MAXIMA WITH A ANTITHEFT ALARMS SYSTEM. THE ALARMS GOES OFF ALL THE TIME SO I TOOK THE FUSE OUT OF IT. MY RADIO WILL NOT WORK WITHOUT THAT FUSE, IF I TRY TO START THE CAR WHEN THE ALARM IS GOING OFF IT WONT START. THE SECOND I REMOVE THE FUSE AGAIN I CAN START IT BUT STILL NO MUSIC.  

Answer
First off, you need to put back the fuse to get it
to set off the alarm, then you need
to put it into overide mode.

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.

Once done, then get in the underdash area,
remote the alarm and repair the wiring so this
does not effect anything anymore.

That will solve this problem.

Happy listening!
