How do you disable the alarm on a 2004 Honda CRV without remote?

To disable the alarm on a 2004 Honda CRV without a remote, you can follow these steps:

1. Insert the key into the driver's side door lock and turn it clockwise to unlock the door.

2. Open the driver's side door and enter the vehicle.

3. Locate the "valet switch" which is usually located in a concealed area like under the dashboard or inside the center console.

4. Press and hold the valet switch for 5-10 seconds until the alarm indicator light turns off and the alarm deactivates.

5. If you can't find the valet switch, you can also try disconnecting and reconnecting the vehicle's battery. This will reset the alarm system.

6. To reconnect the battery, start by disconnecting the negative (black) terminal, and then disconnect the positive (red) terminal. Wait 30 seconds before reconnecting the positive terminal and then the negative terminal.

Note: Disconnecting the battery may also reset other settings like clock, radio presets etc., so make sure you have that information handy before proceeding.

If the alarm still doesn't turn off, there might be an issue with the alarm system itself. In that case, it is recommended to consult with a professional mechanic or an automotive electrician for further assistance.
