Not sure where this should be but got t his problem.
Battery was low so it went on safety.
I turned on the valet switch & charged the battery.
In the meanwhile I vacummed the car sticking a crevice nozzle under the seats & hard to reach areas.

Now I try to turn off the valet switch (its a toggle & I flip it as usual but won't turn off so its stuck in valet & I can't arm the alarm, I guess thats better than stuck in killswitch mode.

The car came w the alarm..its old but always functioned by killswitch however the alarm part never worked.

I can only think maybe I vacummed a wire but I've looked uner the seats & can see no obvious loose wire.

Only other thing I can think is to maybe disconnect a battery terminal but I have never had to do this on other occassions where I had to charge a low battery so I really don't think this will help & I am also not wanting to fool with the car systems by cutting power.

I've fiddled with wires under & checked under hood hoping I might just find a cure but even these old alarms were complicated.

I was hoping at first it was because the battery was not at full charge but its charged enough to start the car so I can't see why it wouldn't power the alarm.

I really don't kjnow what to do at this point.
I really like the comfort of having a killswitch in case of entry & buying a new alarm at this time is not inmy budget...

Any advice is appreciated..
Thanks
