Car Alarms: Car Alarm Problem, toyota camry, dash area


Question
Good Morning,

Three years ago I bought a 1998 Toyota Camry with an alarm already installed that never worked. Last week my mechanic called me stating my alarm was going off and I informed him it never worked and to make noise stop as he saw fit.

Yesterday, my battery was dead and I replaced this morning but now the alarm motions with ligths blinking and does not allow car to start. I am unexpereniced with alarms so I am lost at how to get my car started to at least get to mechanic to fix problem.

Please help.

Answer
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,
until the installed LED (the blinking light)
in your dash area comes on solid.
(Your valet switch might be the toggle (on/off) type.
in this case, key on, flip switch in oposite direction,
key off.)

This should be valet. This overides
the starter kill relay in the alarm harness,
and returns the car back to disarmed mode.

The only thing that will work now on your system,
is the keyless entry if installed.

Just Repeat these steps to rearm your system.

That should do it.
If you want to remove it at this point,
take it to your neighborhood installer
for this, or buy the wiring chart for
the vehicle, and reverse engineer it wire
by wire, until it's safely removed.

Let me know what happens.
