Old Timer, Alarm

I'm trying to help my son with his car. We were going to put in a set of gauge covers and disconnected the battery. He has a Viper 514T alarm. We can't get the car to start and the alrm goes off after reconnecting the battery. He bought the car used about 5 years ago. We called two dealers, who matter of factly told me to turn key on, press valet button once and turn key off. I tried several times. They don't seem to want to mess with it. I think they believe everybody uses a car alarm. I told my son to disconnect it when he first bought it, but he thinks it is really valuable. Unfortunately, the only time it has gone off is in our drive. Any help would be appreciated. I also called the Viper 800 number which asks for my zip and refers me to the same dealers....arghhhh!!

I think on the 514T:You turn the Key ONThen OFFWithin 10 seconds, PRESS the VALET Button onceLED should Lite and Stay ON solid.You probably have STARTER Kill Relay, which is prventing you from Starting Vehicle.  Probably mounted near Steering Column & Ignition WiresMO

Will the procedure with the valet button turn off the starter kill switch, or do you mean there is a seperate button for that?

That will put it in VALET and You should be able to STARTMO

OK, I tried that and it didn't work . Any other ideas? This happened once before when we were installing some custom fog lights, and I remember something about holding the key on till the valet button was released, or vice\versa. Sure sorry I didn't write it down...but it has been a couple years and it would probably be lost by now if I did! I wouldn't mind taking to a Viper dealer tomorrow when they are open, but I can't get it to start, and I'll be damned if I'm going to have it towed for them to reset a button.

My neighbors are ready for me to pullthe alarm!! LOL
