Re: Car Alarm Broken NEED HELP!!!
A common place to put the alarm control box is behind the lower dash
panel on the driver's side. You'll have to remove that lower panel to
find it (usually a few screws and perhaps a few clips). Now you need to
find the starter cut relay. Look for butt-splices, after market
installers use them all the time, but automakers do not. You'll probably
find a relay tucked away somewhere, it should have two fat wires with
butt-splices on them and two thinner wires going to the alarm box. This
would be the starter cut relay. Remove the relay and short the two fat
wires together and you should be able to start the car. You want to be
fairly certain that you found the right relay, wouldn't be too much fun
shorting together the wrong wires.
As for the valet switch, I have seen them mounted to the bottom side of
the steering column, above the pedals.
