Car Alarms: 97 camry alarm keeps sounding, replacement remotes, dash area


Question
I have a 97 camry that had a dead battery.  I charged the battery and now every time I open the door the alarm goes off.  Oh, and the car still won't start.  I do not have a remote, I didn't even know there was an alarm.

Answer
Alrighty,
  You'll need to set off the alarm for a few seconds.
Then, 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.

At this point. the alarm would have reset.
If this had a starter kill relay installed,
it would now be opened, and the engine would
turn over when tried.

You would repeat these steps to go back to
user mode but in this case, leave it this
way until you can either get replacement
remotes, or, replace the alarm with one
you know and understand how it operates for
the best overall experience.

Let me know if it worked for yours.
