Question I have a 98 dodge avenger with a black widow car alarm installed on it. The remote has broke and I'm unable disarm the alarm and I can't start my vehicle. I was wondering how do I uninstall the alarm? So that I may drive my precious car again.
Answer Gotcha, let's put it into valet/service mode.
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.
At this point, the alarm would have reset.
If this had a starter kill relay installed,
it would now be opened, and the engine would
turn over when tried.
You would repeat these steps to go back to
user mode to see if this was corrected.
Then for removal, go to www.wirewerx.com,
get the wiring chart and retrofit it wire
by wire until safely extracted and repaired.
