Hey I bought my car about 1.5-2 months ago, and it came with an alarm, but it doesnt work. It is a DEI Hornet, pro series i think. My car is a 94 civic. I know the remote works because the little light lights up when i hit a button, but nothing is happening. I know its a very broad question but does anyone have any idea of what could be the problem. Im not great with wiring and everything, so are there any certain places i should look first before having someone else look at it??

When you Lock / Arm the alarm does your L E D Blink while your car is unattended? Or does it Blink and stay on solid?

If it stays on solid, The Alarm is probably in Valet mode and U need to find the Valet switch

im not really understanding what ur saying. When i push the button the alarm itself doesnt do anything. Only the little light on the remote lights up. When I'm holding the button down it lights up, solid but is flickering, so its kind of blinking.

Have U tried holding down on your Remote Lock / Arm button to see if U can trigger Alarm Panic?

If your L E D is not lighting, U might want to check if the unit is really all hooked up also, Unless the L E D is bad

The Valet button may be mounted, under the dash, in the glove box / console, by console, ash tray, fuse box area, steering column, or the L E D may even be the Valet button if it presses in. When U press your Lock / Arm Button, do you hear any clicking under or insde dash area?
