Car Alarms: alarm remote, valet service, dash area


Question
I have a 93 Camry.  2 years ago I had a new battery and starter installed.  Since then, my alarm remote has not worked.  When I click the remote to open my doors, it does not work and I must open the door with the key.  Then my headlights start blinking like the alarm is going off.  When I put the key in the ignition, the car won't start.  I have to click the remote once or twice until it locks or unlocks my doors and then the car will start.  Now I lost the remote and I'm afraid that I won't be able to start my car.

Answer
Sure, let's put it into valet/service mode.

Look under the dash area for a button or, a toggle
switch. When you locate it, turn on the ignition
key, press and hold in the button (little
spring loaded micro button, red or black possibly)
until the alarm chirps 1 time. This should over ride
the system, and only the keyless entry part,
if installed, would still be operating.
The LED (light emiting diode) light in the dash
should also go on solid.

This solves the problem for now.

Then if you want to remove it, take it to a local
after market alarm dealer and have it done there.

They may even be able to reset/reprog. the features on
the alarm you have, to allow you to use the system
more comfortably, but of course, your call.

Have a nice afternoon.
