  • In order to disable a car alarm, an individual will have to locate the horn that was put in and disconnect it, or they will have to fix the problem with the alarm. Disconnect a car's battery to disable a factory car alarm with help from an ASE-certified mechanic in this free video on car problems.

    Made sense when you said; most factory alarms systems have a back-up battery. So, when you disconnect the negative at the Battery for more that 5-minutes, it a possibility that the back-up battery will drain. Thus, killing the Alarm System.

  • @mrmeach1967
    @mrmeach1967 Před 6 lety +2

    Just to be clear, we're talking about resetting a malfunctioning alarm that is going off for no apparent reason by disabling it? And based on your experience, disconnecting the negative lead for about 1 min (and then reattaching it) will clear the false alarm most of the time. But this will NOT work for (1) aftermarket alarms (like a Viper) or (2) an alarm of any kind that is so far gone that it needs to be repaired or replaced.

    i thought that this video was very good, my alarm keeps going off and I was considering both disconnecting the horn and or removing the ignition wire that triggers the alarm. I didn't realise that by simply disconnecting the battery for several minutes would re-set the battery and save me loads of work. (Of course he repeats himself, unfortunately he has a minute to fill in between disconnecting and reconnecting the battery and unfortunately he's prone to an unfortunate repetitive habit :-)

I got a new "used" motor put in, then the radiator needed repair, then the purge valve replaced because it wouldn't start after I filled the tank. And now, it honks randomly, sometimes in the middle of the night and when I drive it it honks here and there or when I steer to the left. Help!

      +Alex Johnson Mine goes off 3-4 times a month....but never in the summer...shrug...
      I did a trial and error and found two solutions:
      1. Just don't lock your doors...cover up the red marks on the door lock indicators.
      2. Before shutting off the car, turn ignition from 'start' to 'on', wait about 10 seconds, then turn the car off (my ignition order looks like this: Lock -> ACC -> ON -> Start)
      Please post back if this helped, so others may benefit.

    Real quick suggestion... with respect... as you post a lot of very helpful videos. The constant breaks in speech and then the "UMMM"... are horrid and horrible bad habits, and a huge turn-off to viewers. As well they act to discredit your message.
    Seriously, try to break this habit. I am likely the only one with the balls to actually try to be helpful and tell you. Generally I'd bail... as do others. But I'm at the 36 second mark and it was already driving me nuts. Hope you appreciate what I am saying.
