ok, recently my antenna mast broke (long story)......now when i lock and unlock my doors, my alarm doesnt chirp anymore, but when the alarm is triggered, it still goes off. i just realized it today when i closed my door with the key in the ignition, and then i opened the car a second before it was going to auto lock itself. I pretty sure that unplugging the battery and reconnecting it will solve the problem, but is there any explanation for this?

 

Do you have an aftermarket alarm or stock alarm?

 

i have both........i have the stock alarm and i also have an automate alarm(installed by the dealer)

btw - i tried disconnecting my battery, i left it for about an hour and then reconnected it, no luck - still doesnt chirp......new update...... even after i wait about a minute after activating the alarm, the LED doesnt blink, it just stays "ON" - i dunno wuts wrong

 

i think there is a 5 minute delay or so until the light blinks. could be wrong, but i think mine has a delay.

 

If you have an aftermarket alarm, your alarm is probably in valet mode. Check your user manual, usually involves a few button presses on your remote.

 

hrmm - i mean - how is valet mode triggered ??? - does anyone else have an automate alarm (these are usually the "premium" alarm systems available by the dealer for the 95 and 96 max's gens) and how do you deactiveate it - any help wood be greatly appreciated =] - one more thing..... wouldnt valet mode be disabled if i disconnect the battery and reconnect it though?

 

thanks guys - i called up automate and they told me that it was in valet mode, i guess i must have kicked that button by accident or something - to take it off was easy....... put the key in the "ON" position, then turn it off and then from that point, you have 10 seconds to hit the switch
