How do you disengage alarm system on a 1994 Chrysler lhs?

The 1994 Chrysler LHS alarm system disengagement depends on whether it's the factory-installed system or an aftermarket addition. There's no single universal answer.

For the Factory Alarm System (if equipped):

* Key Fob: The most common method would be using the key fob, if your car came with one. Look for a small, possibly Chrysler-branded remote. It should have buttons to lock and unlock the doors; unlocking usually disarms the alarm.

* Key in the Door: If the key fob is lost or malfunctioning, there might be a way to disarm it using the key in the driver's door lock. Try unlocking the door; this *might* disarm the alarm. However, some systems require a specific sequence of actions (e.g., turning the key to the "on" position, then back to "off", then unlocking).

* Manual Override: Some factory alarm systems had a manual override switch, typically hidden somewhere under the dash. This is less common but possible. You'd need to consult the owner's manual (if you have it) or a Chrysler service manual to find its location.

For an Aftermarket Alarm System:

* Keypad: Aftermarket systems frequently use keypads mounted somewhere (dashboard, door pillar, etc.). These require a specific code to disarm. You'll need to find the keypad and consult its instruction manual (if you have one).

* Remote: Similar to the factory system, an aftermarket alarm might have its own remote control.

* Manual Override (if any): An aftermarket system *might* also have a hidden manual override switch.

If you can't find documentation and none of the above work:

* Professional Help: Your best bet is to take it to a locksmith or car alarm specialist. They have the tools and expertise to diagnose and disable the alarm system safely.

* Battery Disconnect (last resort): Disconnecting the car's battery will usually disable the alarm, but it will also erase the radio presets and clock settings. It's not ideal, and after reconnecting the battery, the alarm *might* sound again until it is properly deactivated.

Crucially, you need to locate any documentation relating to your alarm system – either the owner's manual for the car, or instructions for any aftermarket add-on. Without this documentation, figuring out the disarming method can be very difficult.
