Q – The other thing is my alarm system on the 86’.   After carefully charging the battery and testing it to be sure it was ready, the alarm really shocked me.   I hit the “unlock” button but apparently the battery was dead.   I say apparently since I put a new battery in and still it is blaring!   I thought maybe the valet switch would shut it off but no luck.   The car runs but I cannot drive it with the alarm on all the time.   Larry (again)

A – Try this Larry.   Before you connect the negative cable, turn the ignition key to the “on” position then connect the cable and see what happens.   I am not an alarm guy but this works on my car and a few others that I have tried it on.   MC
