trouble with alarm system

I have at 2003 civic with a two way viper alarm installed. It was working fine until yesterday. My keyless still works but my alarm will not activate and the blue alarm light that used to flash to let me know that the alarm is on would automatically turn on as soon as I turn off my car and will stay lit until I turn my car back on. I have no idea what could be causing this any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

LV

Re: trouble with alarm system

Sounds like you're in valet mode. Try this:

1. Turn the key to "run"
2. Turn the key back off
3. Press and release your valet switch once within five seconds

If that doesn't do anything try this
1. Open a door
then very quickly:
2. Hit lock on the remote
3. Hit unlock on the remote
4. Hit lock on the remote

One of these two should turn the LED off and get your alarm working again.

Re: trouble with alarm system

most definately valet mode. If what was said above doesn't work, check your manual for specifics on getting in/out of valet mode, but what he said sounds about right.
