#1 of 13 How can I shut down alarm?? by adamste Dec 26, 2006 (3:15 pm)
I recently lost the keys to my 97 Aurora and got a new set made by the dealer. However, without the key fob, the alarm goes off for the two minutes whenever i open a door, even if the car is running. Is there a way to kill the alarm until my new fob arrives by pulling a fuse or anything? It wouldn't be such a big deal but I work in downtown Indianapolis and have to park in a public parking garage and I get looks when getting in my car as if I stole it. Thanks a ton to anyone who can help.

Would live to know the answer to your post if you have received one. My alarm has gone wacky.

#4 of 13 '88 Reatta Security Alarm by hjackson Jul 09, 2007 (7:30 am)
I recently had my '88 Reatta painted. While in the paint shop the Stereo Amp was stolen with all wires being cut for removal. I was able to remove all the remaining wires and hook up the radio and that works fine. However, now the Security light on the instrument panel blinks constantly and I cannot keep a charge on the battery, which has been replaced with a new one. I'm grasping for straws I know, but can someone give me a clue on how to disable the Alarm in order that I can eliminate that as a battery drain source? Thanks, her by

He said my key has a chip in it that had gone bad. Looked like a regular key to me. Paid $14.57 for a new one. I have no problems now. At least not with that part of the car.

Replying to: matthew15 (Apr 04, 2009 4:12 pm) Do you have a key fob? I don't and I am having the same problem. Thought maybe that was why? What I'm doing until I find a 'cure' is... I open and close doors, the trunk, the hood... anything that will move. It's sounds silly but just opening and closing the trunk one time it started, ditto for the hood. Hope this helps you in the meantime. I have been told to get the black pellet in the key tested and buy a resistor as close to the test as possible and have it installed into the orange wiring harness. (into 2 small white wires in there). Try to start the car, if it starts.. bonus, if it doesn't wait 30 minutes to let the security learn the new resistor and try to start again. I haven't tried that yet (can't get anybody to do it for me) I wouldn't know where to start. Anyway just an idea I was given at another site. Keep us posted.

i am having the same problem with the security system, 3 times now the car wouldn't start and the message "clean key and wait three minutes" came up. i did and it started but this time the security light kept blinking. i called the dealer and he said the receiver in the switch was going and to replace it would be about 350.00, however he said it was possible to rewire the switch and bypass the security system. he says it works fine but that part of the system has been disabled. it is a 99 and a great car but i am not concerned about theft. anyone did this or had it done?

Replying to: ozz1 (Jun 02, 2009 8:35 am) Start with the basics.. Clean the resistor on your key with a Q-Tip dipped in alcohol. Try to start the car. If no luck, use the Q-Tip and gently clean the contacts in your key switch. If you look in the switch, you'll see two prongs just inside the switch, that will match up to the key resistor. If you're still having problems, the key switch may be bad. Two options are available... have a new switch installed or find a VATS bypass that matches the resistance of your key. The bypass is far cheaper and is an easy install if you have basic mechanical skills. If you have a Volt Ohm Meter, you can check the resistance and construct a home made bypass with resistors from Radio Shack.
