    Thanks for the response, as it turns out I had a couple blown fuses. Once I swapped out the fuses I was able to use the fob to turn off the alarm system.

    Key won't turn in the ignition

  • Anonymous Mar 15, 2014

    Car had not been used for several weeks and it needed a jump start. As the battery in the Passat acquired charge and before the Passat engine would start an alarm went off near the rear of the vehicle. When the battery gained enough charge the engine was started but the alarm is still going off. Tried removing the key and putting the key in the drivers side door and turning it to disable the alarm. Tried putting the key in the rear gate to disable the alarm. The engine is off and no keys are in the car and the alarm continues to sound. At this point I think the alarm will continue to go off until the battery is dead. Can anyone tell me how to turn off the alarm. Going to the store now to pick up batters of the remote to see if this helps.

    Randomly, when I try and start the car,the engine will turn over but not fire. The alarm light continue to flash. What might the cause be?

If this is a factory alarm try using the the key in the door lock and turning the door lock manually. I have seen this issue in chrysler models as well. If this does not work try replacing the batteries in the key fob as this will cause falfunctions as well.

I accidently pressed the car alarm button on my key fob setting off the alarm on my 2002 toyota camery. Now the car will not start. Any ideas on how to fix?

You really need to read the owner's manual to ensure you know exactly how the security system operates and what to do if it doesn't.

If the car's brain thought the car was being stolen it would have armed the immobiliser. It might be possible for the owner to reset the security system or it might need the attention of the dealer.

Car will not start or even turn over - battery is good and starter is good

Do you have an alarm system? Try activating then inactivating the alarm system. Sometimes the alarm system will disable your ignition. You can also try using the key to unlock the driver door to deactivate. Some cars deactivate different ways once the alarm system disables the ignition.

How can i turn my security light off so i can start my car?

Jeremy: According to eHow.com: "
  • 1 Press the "Unlock" key on your key fob to deactivate the alarm and unlock the car doors. If you've lost your key fob, unlocking the driver's side door with the key automatically deactivates the PT Cruiser's alarm.
  • 2 Look for the black alarm box underneath the dashboard, on the driver's side of the car. Locate the override button on the box -- either a black or red button, depending on the year of the PT Cruiser -- but don't press it yet.
  • 3 Put the key in the ignition and turn the key so that the battery is on, but the engine doesn't start. Quickly push and hold in the override button until you hear the alarm sound once, indicating the alarm is disabled.

    2001 mitsubishi eclispse gs wont start how do you bypass the security system

  • 1 Turn the ignition key counter clockwise in the driver's side door to unlock the caricon1.png. This deactivates the alarm long enough for you to gain access to the vehicle. Then, place the key in the ignition and turn the key until it clicks once. This starts the car's battery, but doesn't ignite the engine. The LED light on the dashboard should stop blinking, indicating the alarm is temporarily disabled.
  • 2 Locateicon1.png the box for the alarm under the dashboard on the driver's side of the car. Then, look for the override button on the box. Typically, the small button is either red or black. With the ignition key in the "on" position, press the override button and hold it in until the alarm chirps once. This disables the alarm until you manually reactivate it.
  • 3 To reactivate the alarm, turn the key to the "on" position and press the override button once. The alarm chirps twice, indicating the alarm is active.

  • Hope this helps!

    I have a 1996 3.8 liter camaro. I was driving my car down the road when the gages started jumping and i found out that problem it was the battery and aldernater well after i changed them problems i have...

    Hmmm, a puzzle.

    The only way to disarm these alarms is with
    the factory remote or turning on the ignition.
    To turn off the factory alarm.

    Ok, do you have the remotes?
    If so, let's ID the system.
    Go to www.KEYLESSRIDE.com & use th fcc #s
    on the back of it.

    If not try this:

    Programming Factory Security on GM Cars and Trucks
    Instructions for programming the GM factory security systems that do NOT
    disarm from the driver's door key cylinder. This programming is for the
    cars and trucks listed below.

    96+ Camaro
    96+ Firebird
    99+ GM Trucks
    99+ GM Sport Utility Vehicles

    Step #1 Turn the ignition on then off.

    Step #2 Remove the radio fuse only (not the fuse that says acc/radio).

    Step #3 Turn the key to the accessory position. When you do this you
    will get two chirps from the door buzzer. Should you hear only
    one chirp, your vehicle does not have factory security and these
    instructions do not apply. You need to hear two chirps.

    Step #4 Press the unlock switch on the door. This will give 1-4 chirps
    depending on the program step. Continue pressing the unlock
    switch until you get to the desired chirp setting.
    1 Chirp - Security off
    2 Chirps - Remote Only
    3 Chirps - Factory Setting
    4 Chirps - Passive Arming

    Step #5 Turn the ignition off.

    Step #6 Put radio fuse back in.
