Question Hello, my mom bought a 2000 camry it has a add on car alarm . The trouble I am having is the car seats alot in her garage and she doesn't drive as much now that she is 81 yrs old, but when she does I have to go jump start the car for her. The battery is new and charging good. The only draw on the car is the alarm. I need to know how to on hook it to see if that is it . We've had it back to the p[lace where she bought, but they say theirs nothing wrong. Thanks , Larry.
AnswerGotcha, let's put it into valet/service mode,
so that it's not drawing more then .3 milli watts
from the LED.
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, and the drain on this
relay would be disabled as well.
You would repeat these steps to go back to
user mode to see if this was corrected,
and it should keep the batter power draw at a minimum.
I hope this helped some.
