valet switch for a viper alarm, guaranteed. try turning the ignition to "on" (not starting the car) with all the doors closed, flip the toggle, and see if a light goes on/off nearby. on means valet mode (locks/unlocks only), off is alarm mode. same switch on my old celi, different spot. i'd move it so as not to kick the stupid thing out.
laff09, the key has to be in the ignition. This post has been edited by uberschall: Aug 13, 2006 - 10:08 PM --------------------  do you know who i am, mr. worley? |

it might be a valet switch if you have an older system installed. don't newer one's have a valet switch in the module as a feature already?
other than that, i'd say it's more likely a kill switch (installed in a bad location) cuz i'm sure most thieves will find it. i'm thinking of having one wired with the seatbelt sensor. cuz honestly, what car thief would waste time to buckle their belts anyway? -------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

Be a pain if you just want to move it a few feet. Or are you one of these people that won't even start the car without first having your seatbelt on? Like my brother-in-law |

these are sum retarded responses...
its a dealerinstalled valet switch for your alarm....it doesn't remote start it doesn't blow up, it doesn't make it so it kills your ignition it simply puts the alarm into "VALET mode" so when you use a valet it can be easily moved ect.. you put the key in to the ignition move it over to "ON" but don't start it flick the switch, (up, down, up, down, up) and it will switch modes at least i think thats the right combination its been a long time since i've used it..open your paper work andfind the information on your alarm (its OEM toyota BTW and yes the dealer installed that switch) if you want i can find my book and scan it in for you |
