    I just got my third Taco and it came with a Clifford alarm system. How do I reset this? Looking for the valet button on the alarm system itself. Local store wants to charge me a min of $130 just to reset. Help!

    I did! Manual says nothing regarding resetting. Instructions off Google say to locate the valet and press the button three times and then press the remote start button on my fob.

    Finding a valet button can be very tricky because no two installers put them in the same place. I've dealt with SEVERAL installers and shops that won't even install the valet switch and they'll tell the client that they have to come back to that shop to have it reset or anything.

    I've had people come to me with the same question you have and here were my steps

    -dig under the dash, kick panel, behind the gauge cluster, wherever, and find the brain. Most older units can be found pretty easily.
    -Find the model number on the brain
    -look up that model number, and look at the included wiring in the manual
    -figure out where the valet switch should be plugged in, and see if its actually plugged into the brain at all. normally it's just a 2-pin connector
    -if so, track that wire down, and find the button.
    -if not, hop online and buy a replacement valet switch. the client i worked with got the one for their viper system for like $8
    -plug in switch, reset brain
