Car Alarm Systems
Car alarms prevent damage and theft of your vehicle. They are often professionally installed, but some people do take on the task on their own. Ask questions about types, installation, problems, and any other car alarm question you may have here.

Disconnect car alarm on a 1991 Mazda 626?
I just bought a 626 a couple weeks ago and I didn't even know until tonight that it had an alarm when it went off on me. Well I just looked it up in the owners manual and it says that to turn the alarm off you should unlock any door or trunk with the key. Doesn't list any other way. Hope this helps someone. What a surprise that was.
How do you turn off the car alarm in a 1999 Saturn SC1?
If you mean in general you hit the "panic" butoon on your keyless entry. If you mean to disable completely then you need to find the fuse, I believe it is under the hood.
Where can someone purchase a toad alarm?
Toad alarms are available for more or less any type of vehicle from motorbikes to heavy trucks including motorhomes. They are readily available from discount websites such as Amazon or often found at a discount on e-bay.
How do you disable the factory car alarm on a jeep liberty?
Can't answer this question. Regardless of what your own intentions may be, or how benign they are, an accurate answer to this question would contain information which could be used to facilitate illegal acts, which is strictly against the policy of Wikianswers.
OK, Here is what I've found out on how to disable the alarm on the park avenue. Due to the "wart" on the key you really cant disconnect it otherwise it shuts off your fuel pump and starter. This is a problem I currently have and have found this information useful. There are 2 wires attached to your ignition, they make a circuit that turns off the security system using the wart on your key. Now you can splice in a series of resistors that match the frequency on your wart. Now I havent had a chance to do this yet because i cant get the lower dash panel off so any help there would be much appriciated. If you have instructions and bolt locations for that dash panel i would really like those please. Below are the detailed instructions that a friend gave me on how to bypass the security system and wart.
How to bypass the Buick (GM) �resistor key� security function when it quits working because of a broken wire or worn out key contact:
The symptoms vary, but since this �problem� instructs the security system to cut off the fuel pump and disable the starter, you will find that your car will make no attempt to crank when you turn the ignition switch and if you jump 12 volts directly to the starter, the engine will crank & then cut off.
First you have to measure the resistance of the "wart" on your ignition key with an ohmmeter. You can probably get someone at RadioShack to do it for you. The little metal pieces that stick out to either side are where you measure it. You will need three hands to do this. There are about 15 possible resistances (chart is below). Get reasonably close to the measured resistance with small (1/4 watt or so) resistors from RadioShack. Plus or minus 15% seems to work OK. You could also buy a variable resistor & set it to the correct value.
- Instructions****
Resistors vary a bit, so you might want to assemble the resistors and then measure what you've actually got.
This site will calculate combined resistances for you: http://www.1728.com/resistrs.htm. You may need this if the needed value is hard to arrive at with available resistors. I can help if this doesn't make sense to you.
Next you have to find the two little (white on my car) wires under the steering column. These wires are somewhat fragile and much smaller than most of the other wires under there. They run up to the back of the ignition switch. I cut the wires about 8� from where they go into the connector at the base of the steering column (toward the front of the car). The connector may be orange, but this is not always the same on every model car.
Splice the bypass resistors between the stripped ends of the two cut wires going into the connector, not into the ignition switch. I used very small gray wire nuts (they are color coded by size).
Make sure you put the resistance in line with the wires going to the security controller, not back to the ignition switch. It is easy to get mixed up when you are upside down under the dash.
Send me a digital picture of your wires if you have any trouble identifying them.
You may contact me with other questions about this procedure.
This was a good fix for my Buick & several others. It should work for yours.
Please let me know if you are successful with this.
Below is a list of the actual ohm values GM seems to use (it is from another web site, so I cannot verify it).key number - resistance (ohms)1 4022 5233 6814 8875 11306 14077 18708 23709 301010 374011 475012 604013 750014 953015 11800
Get in the car and shut the door, DO NOT lock the door. The alarm will be going off at this piont. Wait for the alarm to stop. Put the key in and turn it to the ON position, the alarm will activate again, wait for it to stop. When all is silent for a few moments turn the key to off, take it out and wait for the safety beep. After of which, put the key back in, turn the key to on and wait for the 3 beeps and start the car. This worked for my 2003 Hyundai Tiburon and it may work for yours as well.
All i did on my 03 Tiburon GT was turn key to "on" while alarm was going off waited 30 seconds and started it right up
Make sure you are using the original key as well, my tiburon key has a chip in it that works with the alarm, if you are using a duplicate that doesn't have the chip that also could be your problem.

How you reprogram a car alarm for GMC safari 1998?
Is it a factory or an aftermarket alarm? And what exactly do you need to program? I have a LOJAC in mine, and "reprogramming" is done by turning the ignition on (motor off) and depressing the little button under the dash, then either the large or small button on the remote. If it's a factory unit, a dealer should be able to tell you...more than likely for a fee, though John in RI

How do you turn off a 1995 Nissan 240 factory car alarm without the remote?
it should turn off by turning key in ignition. if not look at drivers floor board (on my 93 theres the fuse compartment) look for a little red "button" press that, it's the kill switch. You have to use the key in the drivers door to shut it off.
well normally u only have to hit the lock button once ... on my 02 escape if i hit it twice it honks ... granted it is an annoying sound and loud too .... try to just press the lock button only once. see if that locks it instead of pressing it twice.

Troubleshooting for manufacture car alarm?
When I activate my car alarm, then return to deactivate it the alarm deactivates the door unlocks but when I open the door the alarm goes off and does not go off when I use the remote. Ater about 3 to 4 minutes of trying it finally goes off and I can then start my car. Is the batter need replacing in the remote or a fuse needs change? Does the alarm need servicing?
