Car Alarms: 1997 Toyota Camry Alarm, toyota camry, dash area


Question
I have a 1996 Toyota Camry and I just found out it has an alarm.  The alarm goes off when we unlock and open the door.  We disabled the battery to stop it.  I got in the car while the battery was disabled, my husband connected the battery again and when I turned the key, it wouldn't crank!!  We tried to jump it (new battery) and it won't crank.  How do we disable this alarm??  The alarm sensor is now on and we're wondering if it's making the car not start?

Please help?!

Answer
Sure thing.
  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 to see if this was corrected.

But since you have no remotes to control it,
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.
