Want this question answered?
Valet mode on a car's security systems allows all alarm functions to be bypassed, with the exception of the remote panic features and door locks.
Valet mode disables the alarm, if you want starter kill do not disable the alarm.
If you have a valet switch, just hold it in for a few seconds with the alarm off and release when it beeps or blinks the LED. You may be able to unhook the battery briefly to reset the alarm's status.
I have a 2003 Navigator and i want to disable valet parking. it is an after factor alarm.
You can put it in valet mode, or find the wiring and remove it.
If the security light is blinking and the remote starter does not work, it will beep twice instead. First use the panic button to set off the alarm, it will go off then stop by itself. Next put the key in the driver door and lock and unlock twice then remove. On the controller lock and unlock the doors twice to three times, just back and forth locking and unlocking. Next try the remote starter and it should start and its reset. It is now back to normal. A few things that may have gotten it to this point......someone tried to steal it, faulty remote, someone held the buttons down on the remote too long. My son used my truck and gave it back with the alarm active, he had my keys in his back pocket and probably sat on it so the buttons were pressed and activated the alarm. This only works with the original key, the secondary key used for valet parking will not work. Once the alarm is active only the original key will start the truck, the remote and valet key will not work either. This is not bypassable because the key, remote are connected to the vehicle computer with programming on the computer.
A visual notification that the alarm is in valet mode is the LED light is on solid. If the LED is on solid and you wish to make the alarm active again, turn the ignition "on" then, press and hold the valet/programming switch for two seconds. The LED light will turn off.If the LED light is not on solid then, the issue may be with siren itself.
If it won't start, check your valet switch, also make sure you press valet switch ANY time the battery will be disconnected or you will run into a lot of blown fuses and fun resetting your security system!
Your car alarm should have a valet switch,which is named for exactly that situation.
you can purchase a universal remote at any retailer or if your lucky like me and have a friend that has a viper alarm system that has the ability to be used on multi vehicles, example the viper 5000 you can use their remote to hop if only looking to use 1 time. Or if you are wanting all remotes erased you can do that by placing it in valet mode, which can be done by pressing your program button under your dash with in 5 seconds of opening doorand press program button 9 times if you dont have remote start and 11 if you do
Use your remote to lock and unlock doors it should cancel valet
I called DEI as I had the same problem. Keep the driver door ajar, unlocked. Hit the LOCK, UNLOCK, LOCK rapidly.
