Car Alarms: door lock problems, toyota camery, valet mode


Question
QUESTION: I have a 1996 toyota camery and had my car cleaned and remote doors will not work. It has the rs 3000 security system in it,and I tryed to reset and nothing happens

ANSWER: It appears from your expaination, that the
car alarm is in service mode.

Ok, try this.
Put the key in the ignition, and turn forward
all the way just before cranking. Then within
5 seconds, press and hold in the valet/overide
button, found under the dash area, usually to the
left of the leg drilled into a hidden away spot,
until the installed LED (the blinking light)
in your dash area goes off, and the siren chirps twice.
(Your valet switch might be the toggle (on/off) type.
in this case, key on, flip switch in oposite direction,
key off.)

This should reset the alarm.

Just Repeat these steps to place it
back to valet mode.

That should do it.
Let me know what happens.

QUESTION: I found the rs3000 under the seat,is that what your talking about to reset? I reset that button and nothing happened. I looked under dash and there was nothing under there.

ANSWER: No, you will need to locate the valet overide button.
It will be mounted to the underdash somewhere.

QUESTION: There is nothing like that under the dash I looked all over and didn't see anything like that.The only thing I found was under the seat the main unit rs300.

Answer
Then without inspection, I'd say take
it up to a local alarm installation shop
for repair, re assignment of wiring and location,
and resetting.

First off, the alarm should NEVER have been installed
a seat. I'd move that right away. But again
you need a pair of eyes under there that know
what to do. I can't see what's what so I am
limited here.
