Car Alarms: alarm modes, alarm modes, shock sensor

Question
Bought car with sidewinder alarm on it already.
No manual or instructions.key fob has two buttons
only.One arms and disarms the other does nothing.
One blink armed,Two blinks disarmed.Other day the
status light inside the car was blinking five blinks at a time. Do you know what this means?

Answer
Sounds like alarm was triggered while you were gone.
Could be a shock sensor notification etc...

Reset the alarm with the valet if you can:

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 comes on solid.
(Your valet switch might be the toggle (on/off) type.
in this case, key on, flip switch in oposite direction,
key off.)

This should be valet. This overides
the starter kill relay in the alarm harness,
and returns the car back to disarmed mode.

The only thing that will work now on your system,
is the keyless entry if installed.

Just Repeat these steps to rearm?reset
your system.

That should do it.
