I am trying to disarm my car alarm. We bought the car used, and there are no remote keys. We have to start the engine within 10 seconds of opening a door or the alarm goes off. I have been searching the internet forever to find how to disarm it. There have been many suggestions to push a valet button or toggle switch underneath the dash. I haven't been able to locate a button or switch. Any suggestions??
my 97 does not do that - thank god! the only time i've set mine off is when i opened the hood, which i purposely left unlatched, after driving to the parts store... and once a friend stayed in the car then opened his door, setting it off.
i dunno how any other years (i have a 97) work but it would seem unreasonable, in the extreme, to give a driver only 10 seconds to start the car!
on my 97 i cant figure out and neither can the techs when they can only spend a cplminutes looking for it find the ecm for the alarm/keyless entry system.. i need a new remote but they cant figure out which to give me.. weird i know
