Toyota Repair: faulty alarm, toyota solara, interval 2

Question
I have a 2000 toyota Solara hard top with the factory alarm. Yesterday I was going to my car and hit the open button for the door on my key fob(like always) and the alarm went off. I thought I hit the panic button by mistake but, I didn't. I tried to cut it off by opening the door with a key, by starting the car, and by using the key fob to turn it off. Pressing the panic button while it is going off doesn't phase it.I have disconnected both battery cables (trying to reset it) I changed the batteries in my key fob and it hasn't worked. Every time I start the car, open the trunk, or open the  door it goes off. I disconnected the horn (removed the 10amp fuse)..now the headlights and tail lights just blink. I don't want to take it to the dealer to have them keep it all day and charge me an arm and a leg in labor. I am in nursing school and have two kids, and can't afford it right now. If you could please help me in any way I would be so appreciative. If you have any questions please contact me at 423-483-4895.

Answer
try the obvious, try another remote if you have one.
It could be that the alarm doesnt recognise the signal.
You can try and reprogram the remote.

They can do it at the dealer witha scan tool
Manually its tricky
HERE GOES!


Start registration of recognition code

Close the driver’s door, then open it.
Again press the door lock control switch (for manual operation) 5 times to LOCK/UNLOCK at approx. 1 sec. interval.

Insert the key into the ignition key cylinder.
Turn the ignition switch from ON to LOCK at approx. 1 sec. interval 2 times


Pull out the key plate from the ignition key cylinder.
Press the LOCK and UNLOCK switch simultaneously for more than 1 sec.

Again press the LOCK or UNLOCK switch for more than 1 sec.

Keep in mind it must be done rather quickly.
The doors will lock and unlock when it accepts the signal.

Good Luck
