Do you know anyone in the Boquete area that works on car alarms? My key fob turns off the alarm, but then 5 seconds later it comes on again. The car will not start.

The control module was under the left side of the dash. We think moisture got into it.
Problem solved. I got a guy to come out and remove the security system. Since the car sat in the garage for 4 months while we were in the USA, they think moisture got into it. They got it working, but I didn't want to get stranded if it started acting up again.
The car is a Tucson with an after market alarm system professional installed in David. Since the car will not start until the system is fixed. I may have to have a tow truck take it to David if I can't get it fixed here.
The key fob battery is good. As I said, the fob will disable the system for 5 seconds, then the alarm starts again. I need a master reset or disable the system. I don't see where they put the alarm system. If I could find it, I would cut the wires.
Keith,
Great suggestion.
Richard,

These aftermarket systems are the worse to diagnose. Any idea on who installed this? Can you contact the previous owner?
The easiest way to disable an aftermarket system is to disconnect its power source. Most tie into the main fuse panel located under the dash and sometimes make it easy by including its own inline fuse holder hence removing the fuse would be the easiest way to disable it. Have you located the siren/horn under the hood or behind the front grill? This is an easy way to locate the alarm unit by tracing the wire.
In addition, since the car is disabled, it probably connects into the ignition system someway complicating things.
Where are you located? Private message me and perhaps we can have a look see tomorrow morning.
I searched on:
"hyundai tucson alarm system connect to ignition"
which produced 1,000s of hits so we should have no problem finding the connection to the ignition system and disconnecting it.
What year is the Tucson?
Perhaps you could offer to go over and help the fellow.
Richard,
An immediate and temporary solution would be to perform a master reset of the alarm system essentially disabling the electronic key fob. If the key fob battery is good, try programming your alarm system to recognize the existing key fob after the master reset.
My Toyota SUV's Alarm system (and many other Toyotas) is mounted on the floor under the driver's seat beneath the carpet.
If you can't locate the master reset switch, disconnecting the main battery for a several hours (the time varies on alarm systems) will do so. Just keep in mind that many other electronic features in your car will need to be re-programmed too.
Perform an internet search on the problem description along with the manufacturer, model number, and year and you'll most likely find a solution.
The battery was disconnected for two weeks while I was in Florida. Key fob stops the alarm for a short time. It no longer locks or unlocks the car.
Richard,
Okay, simple fix, it's the same exact problem I had when I shipped my SUV here.
Your alarm system simply needs to be programmed to recognize the key fob. Very simple but pay attention to time duration in between steps. Precision is key (pun intended).
Here's the manual for many alarms systems on Toyotas:

The procedure in this manual worked easily for me. Track down and locate the manual for your car.
