arrow 3 stuck in valet mode

Hi,

A friend of mine bought an older Clifford alarm on Ebay, an Arrow 3 .It looks like a refurbished brain, including 2 remotes and an antenna . The problem is that when he connected the brain to the Clifford wiring in his car [ which had a defective Arrow 3 brain ]  the Arrow 3 brain he bought is in " valet mode" and it does not react to the Plain View switch with code "2" . No Plain View code was sent with the alarm ! No reaction on the remote buttons as well . I connected the brain to my Cliffnet Wizard, version 1.3 , and it actually says it is in" valet mode" . You can only go to "in/output " and " monitor " . You can see that it reacts to the remote controls so these belong to the brain. How can I get the Arrow 3 out of " valet mode " again so that it can be used again in my friends car ? Thanks !

Thx Howie for your answer, but I have tried to use the PlainView switch and use "2" as the code, twice push * and then once the blank knob, but it is no use........

Hi,

Well I came to the same conclusion that the brain recognized the remotes , I tried all possible combinations on the remotes , just 3 in this case , but the brain will not react and remains in valet mode . Guess my friend will have to look for another alarm . Appreciate your replies  guys !!

Guess what....., although the valet switch buttons clicked nicely when pushed , the * button did not make contact when pushed, only when you wiggled it strongly .

At last when connecting another valet switch I found out that the one in the car was faulty [ see above ] I then got out of valet mode, just two times * and one time on the blank  button . First thing I did was to enable " remote valet "  in Cliffnet Wizard .

Though my friend swore he never used the valet switch it was already faulty ................
