Question:

How can I shut off my car alarm?

I have a 1999 Dodge Neon with what I believe is an AutoMate 491 Alarm Remote (RPN491, FCC ID: EZSDE1490). I could not find a user‘s manual for it. This remote is a weird old basic model that sports only two buttons, #1 #2. There is no valet switch in the car. I am wanting to know how to disable the alarm. I believe that you can disable the alarm by using some sort of sequence with the two buttons on the remote, but I don‘t know what the sequence is. That is why I was looking for a manual. I believe this car was originally a Hertz Rent-A-Car when it was new. Maybe this weird two button remote was a special product Dodge was using for Hertz or Avis or something? The reason I would like the alarm to just be off (or at least a way to have it off temp.) is because I can‘t even check the oil without setting the stupid thing off. Mechanics hate me; they have to disconnect the battery so they don‘t have to hit my remote every 90 secs. just to change a tire or whatever, LOL. Thank you.

Answer:

To temporarily turn off the arm or disarm chirps, use Silent Mode. Simply press Button II briefly before arming or disarming, and the confirmation chirp(s) will be eliminated for that one operation only. If you want the arm/disarm chirps turned off permanently, unplug the Automate box under the dash. If maybe one of the buttons on your remote doesn't work anymore. You can still obtain replacement remotes and replacement cases (though not for long since they are both discontinued.)
Should be a remote kill switch mounted somewhere in the car. trace alarm wiring to see where it goes. the 3 small wires are kill control. push once for kill 2 times to activate
in all honesty, nothing less than a 50 gallon is worth the time, effort, or money to convert to saltwater. no saltwater fish would happily thrive in a 20 gallon.
I am very sorry to hear you own a Neon, anyways take it to a shop that specializes in alarms. I am sure they can disconnect it for you for around 50 bucks.
