S80 Alarm and Valet Switch Need Help S80 1998

I'm still having problems and unable to "permanently" disable my 1998 S80's anti-theft alarm system. I bough tthe car used and it was disabled, now after putting in a new battery it's back "on" and I hate it**. Can ANYONE HELP me to turn this thing off???? (not just everytime it sounds; I can do that with the remote.)

Phone calls to SIX dealers gave me all different POSSIBLE solutions. None have worked. One said to look for a VALET SWITCH under the dashboard and I did find that. IS THIS THE SOLUTION? If so... how does it get turned off and later on? I've had no luck Googling for a Volvo alarm.

My family, neighbors and workplace are all ready to have my head on a platter.

Any help????

(** The alram is set up to activate when the doors are unlocked. Therefore... if I don't lock the doors within two minutes and then start the car or open a door Beep Beep Beep. What a crazy system.)
