Not to fear, this handy hack could help you out when you're stuck.

In a video posted on YouTube by @checkitout2468, this motor whizz revealed a simple way to silence your alarm.

He said: "I bought this car used and there's an alarm system in it, I didn't even know it had one.

"There are two things you need to find, a switch on the left hand side of the pedals, or it could be tucked up above them, maybe on the right side too.

"The second thing is a light on your dash, mine is white, but when the alarm turns on it's red."

The car guru explained how you need to insert your key and turn it into the second position after closing all your doors.

"Then, push the secret button, count to five, take the key out, and the red light will be out," he added.

People who had tried and tested the genius trick hailed the advice.

"Thank you. I was able to turn off my alarm so my car would start. Thought I was going to be stranded in the grocery store parking lot with my kids. We all cheered when it worked!," penned one excited motorist.

"Thanks a million! Been trying to deactivate my SUV alarm for quite some time now with no success," wrote another impressed driver.

"Watched multiple videos to no avail. Even thought of taking it to the dealer. Happy, I saw your video and followed the instructions. I was able to deactivate my alarm. Thank you very much," they added.

Someone else commented: "Thank you, you save my day and also found that small push switch. Appreciate your time to make this video and share with us."

"You have no idea what a God send your video is. Omg thank you! I am forever grateful," agreed a fourth.
