Expert: INSTALLSUPPORT - 3/25/2010

Question
I have a 99 Dodge Caravan and have lovingly put over 160 thousand miles on it.  The past couple of days I had trouble arming my van with my remote key, I changed the battery and it worked...it armed itself.  Now, it WILL NOT disarm.  I have disconnected the battery..nothing.  Is there a reset switch or fuse that I can remove?  I would like to drive my van and have been home-bound all day because of this problem.

Answer
Ok, an installer would place the velet switch in a semi
hidden area. I'd look under the dash area
for a button or, a toggle switch. When you locate it,
turn on the ignition key, press and hold in the
button (little spring loaded micro button, red or
black possibly), until the alarm chirps 1 time.
This should over ride the system, and only the
keyless entry part, if installed, would still be
operating.

The LED (light emiting diode) light in the dash
should also go on solid.=VALET/OVERIDE

This stops the alarm except for the keyless
entry if installed. Once in Valet mode,
it will allow the car to start and operate
like there was no alarm at all.

The next step is if wanting to remove it,
you contact a local technician to
locate it, and affect neccesary service
for you.

That should solve the troubles.
