Not a 1997, but a '95 Isuzu Rodeo. The alarm system wants to go off because I do not know how to reset it, and this causes the car not to start. IS there a reset button or procedure? I have tried finding a fuse, but there appears to be nothing labeled security system or alarm.

Your alarm system should have a sensitivity setting screw, if you can locate it, it's probably buried behind your dash. If you adjust the sensitivity it might help with the problem.

It probably has an alarm system that needs reset.
Try looking under dash may be a reset button for after market
alarm system. Also try locking and unlocking doors with door key.
hope this helps.

it could be the alarm but it also can be your battery. i dont no much but same thing happen to mine

A 98 Isuzu rodeo alternative alternative little key does that work the alarm system

This has to do with the Auto's Computer system and should ONLY be done by a Factory Rep who knows what he/she are doing. not a home mechanic chore!!

check ya battery thats normally the cause
good bat 12.4v bad bat anything below 11.8v

With the engine running
good 13.8-14.8v bad anything below 13.0v
if below 13.0v when running the alternator is broken

Hope i help

this problem is most commonly caused by a defective fuel pump pressure check valve, the valve is part of the fuel pump.

I'm assuming its an original alarm or system that came from factory or dealer. When the light blinks is because the alarm is activated. Look underneath the radio the alarm brain might be there. There will be a label on it saying alarm or security system etc. Disconnect the harness to it and try operating your vehicle.

try turning the key to the on position (not start) then to off 5 times quickly. this may reset it. on the 5th time the power locks will lock then unlock quickly if done right.
