i have a 2007 saturn ion, and for some reason the alarm keeps going off every 5-20 mins, and i hit the button on the keyring to turn it off but then around 5-20 mins it goes off again..and i just want to know is there anything i can do to make it stop besides unlocking my car..thanks

Is this a Factory or AFTERMARKET alarm...If it is an aftermarket alarm...There should be a valet switch somewhere in the car...Usually in the drivers kick panel...If you can locate this button....Turn Ignition to the ON position...Press and hold button for about 15 seconds...If there is a L.E.D. ...It should turn on solid...Confirming vehicle is in Valet Mode...turn ignition off and see if L.E.D. remains on... If so Should remedy untill you can get into a shop.

that's a factory system, there will not be a visible over ride for that, as tommy mentioned, you may have to go back to a dealer or a reputable installer to diagnose your problem. tommy dude you joined here since 2004, where u been all this time? good to see you're still stickin to the 12 volts. ------------- COMMIT YOUR WAY TO JEHOVAH AND HE WILL ACT IN YOUR BEHALF.

"passlock theft deterrent system" is something built into the ignition switch, to make the entire car harder to steal.
It's only to keep the car from being started. It has no effect when the car is broken into.
However, the Ion (or at least most of them) do have a factory installed alarm designed to beep the horn and flash the lights if someone breaks in.
It's also possible someone has installed an aftermarket alarm system in the car too.
What does the remote control look like? How many buttons? Is there a name or phone number printed on it? Is there a red or blue flashing light somewhere on the dashboard?

Ive always been around...Lurking in the cellular and communication forum...j/k...Honestly...The shop has been kinda slow recently...Enabling me to offer some input...This is where i get almost every question i ever have answered...And sometimes answered so in depth i dont understand...lol...There have been situations where i have been stuck and the search feature got me back on track......The12volt.com is absolutely the best site i have ever used. Actually the only one...
