SOURCE: car starter not working

look under the dash for a small silver toggle switch....this is a disable switch for the remote start portion of the system..you may have kicked it / bumped it with your foot, causing the remote start portion to be deactivated. Just flip the switch the opposite way and try again..
Also, there may have been a pin style switch installed under the hood...Check to see if it is bent or broken, if it is, simply disconnect it and insulate the wire that was going to it. 
This wire is used as a safety to keep the vehicle from remote starting while the hood is up..to keep people from being injured if the remote start is activated while the engine is being worked on. 
Have whatever shop installed the system replace your pinswitch if that is the problem.

SOURCE: Need to turn the valet switch off On 1999 Nissan Maxima

Look for alarm Brain box and look for wires coming out black and red going to valet switch. to turn valet on turn ignition in ON position and press-switch or flip depending on the type of switch. If it a basic alarm just disconnect the main wiring harness to alarm box- unplug and the car should start. Good luck and thanks for using FIX YA

SOURCE: uniden vs1100xr car alarm will

I had the same problem with my vs1100xr. The remotes for these (and other) unidens have a rolling code. Seems to me that either the remote runs out of new codes and cycles back to the beginning, or the alarm base unit somehow loses track of the codes. Either way, the alarm base unit stops accepting the codes of your remote, and so needs to be purged of its code tracking memory - reset, if you like. This is essentially the procedure for training the alarm base unit to recognise new remote (and forgetting old remotes).
This procedure is:-
1) Disarm alarm, or if in valet mode, take it out of valet mode (push valet button 3 times)
2) Turn the ignition on and off 2 times within 15 seconds.
3) Put the alarm into valet mode (push valet button 3 times) within 15 seconds of completing step 2. Alarm should beep, and remote training has started.
4) Within 15 seconds of completing step 3, push the button (#1) of the first remote you wish to use for the alarm. Alarm should beep, indicating acceptance of remote. Repeat for other remotes you wish to use - up to 4 in total. (Once the first remote has been accepted, you have all the time in the world to make the alarm learn other remotes)
5) Turn ignition on and off to end remote learning mode. Alarm should beep 2 times. New remotes have now been learned and previous remotes forgotten.

Some of these details may vary from country to country - who knows. If this doesn't work, I suggest that you contact Uniden in your country to obtain the procedure. Took me a few tries to get the timing right, what with the valet button hard to get at and having only 15 seconds between steps.

Battery went dead so replaced the battery but now alarm system doesn't work. Keyless entery remote works to open and lock doors but no alarm. How do I reset the alarm on Ford explorer 1999?

It sounds like the system is in valet mode. Depending on the brand and model that is installed, the procedure to turn off valet mode can vary. The most typical way is to turn on the ignition key and press and release the valet button, or if it is a switch, to flip the switch

I reeplaced the fuel pump, fuel filter, and fuel pressure regulator. thinking that was the problem! But was told that the alarm might be the problem so i pressed the alarm twic and the truck started but...

You must put the alarm on a valet mode to see if the alarm is causing this problem
To enter or exit Valet Mode
1. Turn the ignition on
2. Turn the ignition off
3. Press and release the valet switch within 10 seconds
The status Led will light solidly if you are entering valet mode, and it will go out if you are exiting valet mode.
To enter or exit Valet Mode using the transmitter:
1. Open any vehicle door.
2. Press and realese lock and unlock buttons at the same time
3. Press and realese Aux button
4. Press and realese the lock and unlock button at the same time again
The status led will light solidly if you are entering Valet Mode and it will go out if you are exiting Valet Mode
Now when in Valet Mode try to start the engine, if the problem persist the alarm has nothing to do with it

Doors lock and unlock, but system will not arm. also the red LED is on untill the car starts. How do I get my system back up and running?

The LED light is on solid until you start the vehicle. Sounds like the alarm is in valet mode. Try opening any door, press lock, unlock, lock. The LED light will go out if the system was in valet. For future reference, that is the process for "remote valet". If that does not work, turn igniton on then off, within ten (10) seconds, press and release the valet switch. The LED will go out if the system was in valet.
