Car Alarms: 2001 Toyota Avalon Alarm Valet Switch, toyota avalon, chirps


Question
Hello:

My 2001 Toyota Avalon will not start because I no longer have my alarm remote and the alarm valet switch broke off and is now missing. I have searched the Internet all day today trying to find out how to turn off the alarm so I can start my car. A few months ago a AAA road service technician took 2 wires and placed them together and my car started.  I have tried this with the gray and black wire and still can't start my car.Any suggestions on how to get my vehicle started? I greatly appreciate your support and thank you for the time you spend reading, answering and helping people with their car issues.

Thank you,
Debbie

Answer
It's an after market system
from your description.
(valet switches do not exsist in
factory alarms/keyless entry.

Ok then, get over to the local car alarm shop,
or Best Buys will have a valet switch that
will fit for your
alarm.

In the mean time, cut off the switch part,
leaving the 2 wires that were connected, free.
(here's the part you missed)
Then twist together, turn on the ignition,
hold both wires to ground until the siren chirps.

That should reset and place the alarm into
over ride for now. Nothing accept the keyless entry
if installed will operate until you repeat the
same steps.

Then get a new switch and you're all set.

Have a good day.
Let me know if you were
successful.
