How do you remove a Python 990 security system

I own a 1987 Pontiac Trans Am. When I bought it, it came with this rediculous alarm system. I was wondering how to remove the entire system.

Why do you want to remove a killer alarm in a car that is actually appriecieating in value instead of deprecieating? Not that it's any of my bidness but just wonderin... OK, so if your all gung-ho to pull it out here is what you gotta do...
1. Crawl under the dash and find the alarm "brain", it is a little black box with a gazillion wires coming out of it. Make damn sure you got the brain too it should have Python Logo on it.
2. Ok now your under the dash becoming one with the wiring looms and you will see on the brain a white molex (plastic) plug with about 18 wires coming out of it. You see it?? Good now reach up and unplug only that one plug Pilgrim and NO MORE... OK now.
3. Try starting the Trans Am with the key does it start ok and all the gauges, switches all work?? Excellent now shut her down and crawl your *** back under the dash and take out the other white plug from the brain and try starting it again... If all is good again shut her down and remove the rest of the wires from the brain and now your killer Trans Am will soon be importing illegal Mexicans from the border to Phoenix sometime next week when some stoner jacks your ride!! just kidding. let me know if you run into any snags... mark

    I want to do the same thing on my 2013 f-150. I tried pulling the wiring harness with the 18 wires, starting it, it did not start. What now?

Set up the car remote

A 7701P is a remote transmitter. It is not an alarm. You must know the alarm's model because different models have various ways of programming transmitters. In other words, you do not program the 7701P. The frequency is already fixed. You must program your security system to teach it that transmitter's code. Look up the manual for your security system. Instructions will be there. This typically involves turning the ignition on/off a specific number of times and pressing a valet/programming button (or switch) a certain number of times and then pressing a button on the transmitter.

Need to see a picture of the toggle switch since this is my sons car and I do not have the remote start just the ignition key and alarm is gong off

the toggle switch will not disable it. you need to turn the key to the ON position WHILE the alarm is sounding (so if the sole virtue of turning the key triggers the alarm you will need to turn the key off and back to on), then press and release the valet switch once.
see the picture below to know what you're looking for.

How to turn light on the python 990 remote?

If you just want the LCD backlit turned on, press and hold the program button on the back of the remote until the remote gives a long tone, that indicates that you've entered programming mode. Then within 5 seconds of entering programming mode press the the unlock button. The remote will beep once for backlight on and twice for backlight off. In the "on" setting your backlight will turn on each time a button on the remote is pressed. It will run down your battery faster though. It's the same for both the 990 and the 950 remotes.

When i bought the car it was disarmed maybe cause it was towed?

Do you have the alarm's remote fobs? If not do you know where the valet button lives? It's a little black button hid somewhere under the dash. Anyway put your key in ignition turn key to "run" position and within 5 seconds push the valet button and that should stop the alarm and allow you to start the vehicle. OK after you get the vehicle started turn it off and hit the valet button again. The blinking LED should be solid not blinking and that's telling you your in valet mode which means the alarm is off, the conviencince features like keyless entry and remote start will still work but the alarm is standing down.

Python 990 isnt locking or unlocking my doors .

Its going to be either the wires going to the locks or the programming in the alarm. The only way to tell is to get the wiring tested. A plug could have just pulled out also. Do many variances for one straight answer.

Reprogram python 990 remote

The P stands for programming. It's used when setting up the alarm system, you would need the manual for the system to tell you what can be done. I have a Python 990 and I can change pretty much everything from sensor adjustments, amount of time it turns over for starting, disabling the siren and many other settings. I found out the hard way one time when I accidentally pressed it and turned the key off and it disabled the siren. I think that's how it happened, been a while since it happened. I would have to get the manual out to be exact. You can also do the programming by pressing all 4 buttons at once and hold for 2 seconds. But you still need the manual to know what your doing. Hope this helps
