Question
Hi, The valet switch was hit and broken and it placed the car in valet mode. My wife did not know how to deal with the problem and inadvertently placed the alarm into anti-hijacking mode. When she couldn't get the alarm to stop she called her mechanically challenged brother who decided to disconnect the ground on the siren. All of this happened while I was work and she didn't want to bother me with it...oh well...
I repaired the switch, started the car, and turned off the anti-hijack setting. However, none of the remotes will operate the alarm system. I can still use the valet switch and arm or disarm the system. Is there a trick to getting the remotes to sync with and operate the alarm?
Please help,
Thanks, Dennis

Answer
Ok then, get over to the local car alarm shop,
or Best Buys will have a valet switch that
will fit for your
alarm.

In the mean time, cut off the switch part,
leaving the 2 wires that were connected, free.

Then twist together, turn on the ignition,
hold both wires to ground until the siren chirps.

That should reset and place the alarm into
over ride for now. Nothing accept the keyless entry
if installed will operate until you repeat the
same steps.

Then get a new switch and you're all set.

Have a good Eve.
Let me know if you were
successful.
