QuestionI'm having trouble with my anti-theft alarm in my 1999 toyota camry. The alarm doesn't make any sound but the security lights near the Headlight and Tail light starts flashing once the door is opened and also while driving.I couldn't get it to turn off while driving. The security lights stops flashing after 30 seconds when the car is parked and car is turned off. To disable the security alarm, I unlocked the driver's side door with my key, also opened the trunk with key. But still the security lights keep flashing once the door this opened. I don't know how to turn it off. I'd like to know if the alarm can be disconnected. My car has factory installed alarm system only. Please let me know the solution.
AnswerWell, if it's the factory alarm,
the headlights would flash,
and the horn would honk.
If it's aftermarket, the parking lights,
and a siren would sound.
Which applies to this car's issue?
If aftermarket, the alarm seems to be
in long tamper mode, so try this....
Put the key in the ignition, and turn forward
all the way just before cranking. Then within
5 seconds, locate, press and hold in the
valet/overide button, found under the
dash area, (push button, spring loaded)
until the installed LED (the blinking light)
in your dash area goes on solid,
and the siren chirps once.
(Your valet switch might be the toggle
(on/off) type. in this case, key on,
flip switch in opposite direction,
then turn the key off.)
This should reset the alarm, and reset
the grounded relay on the starter wire,
allowing you to start the engine.
At this point, the only thing working would
be the keyless entry from the alarm,
if it came equipped that way.
Just Repeat these steps to place it
back to usable armed mode.
You may get 2 chirps, confirming it,
and the lights may flash twice as well.
That should do it.
If however it's the factory system, Toyota
would need to program a remote for your to
turn it on and off.
I hope this helps sort out your issues.
