How do I disable it or find the valet switch - Python Vehicle Parts & Accessories

I would repair it.

go to dealer and have a key cut using vin number

Have you got the valet switch turned on?

If this is a real factory alarm, you can adjust the alarm settings by following the instructions in the owners manual. To get an owners manual, go to the Chevrolet Owners website and sign up (it's free). You'll need your VIN. http://www.gm.com/gmownercenter/chevrolet/

The valet switch is usually located around the drivers side. Each installation is different, as are most alarms. The valet switch could be part of the flashing LED or, it could be incorporated into the on glass antenna. If not, it should be located below the driver side dash. If you can see the alarm, locate the blue two pin plug and trace the wire to the push button valet. If the unit is manufactured by Directed (Viper, Python, Avital, Clifford, Valet, Automate, Hornet, etc.) turn ignition on then off, press and release valet within 10 seconds, LED will illuminate solid to show system is in valet. If the unit is manufactured by Audiovox (Prestige, Pursuit, Code (new)) turn ignition on, press and hold valet switch for approx. five seconds, release, LED will illuminated solid to show system is in valet.
If you are attemting to manually override the system, turn ignition on, press and release valet switch to disarm.

Although you did not mention the type of alarm, usually the process for manaully disarming an alarm is: key on, press and release valet switch. The valet switch should be a push button located near the drivers kick panel (where your left foot would rest when driving) or, for newer alarm models,the valet switch is incorporated into the LED light or the antenna.

Look for some sort of toggle switch associated with the alarm system. (something small similar to this [http://www.mouser.com/images/ckcomponents/lrg/7000_toggle_series_new_SPL.jpg]) They call this a valet switch and it's located somewhere hidden and out of the way - usually under the dash - but still in an accessible spot. This basically disables the alarm. Typically, you'd turn the key on (but engine off) then flip the switch. This will put the car into valet mode and basically disable it. There is also usually some sort of LED light associated with the system - again typically blinking when the system is armed - but it will be solid once in valet mode. The clicking you are hearing is the relay that is triggering things. I'm assuming someone got tired of the alarm sounding and got rid of the siren it or clipped the wires to it - hence why your only hearing the clicking and seeing the light flash.

define disabled? if you mean it wont start, then turn the ignition on and press the valet switch untill the LED lights solid

Your Valet cancel switch is set.


Open your glovebox and you will see a pushbutton on the the left side, if memory serves. When this button is set, the power button will be disabled, but the key fob button will still work.
This is for when you Valet your car, you push the cancel button in the glovebox, lock the glovebox, then give the Valet your Valet key, which will not open the trunk or the glovebox. Voila, no Valet rummaging through your trunk :)

Often full gloveboxes will be the cause of the button getting pushed accidentally.
