Car Alarms: 2002 Toyota Carolla Car alarm wont let us start our car!!, toyota carolla, dash area


Question
We were having trouble starting the car and the battery was dirty I took the conection off to clean it, now when I try to put it back on the alarm goes off and I can not start the car. I have looked for a silencer button but can not find one. Is there any way to disarm it so I can go to work? Thanks for any help you can give

Answer
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 (better be there or, you got problems bud!).
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 to see if this was corrected.

But if it does work, I'd keep it this way, and
replace the alarm asap with one you know and
understand how it operates for the best overall
experience.

Let me know if it works for yours.
