hey there lads. recently i have been having trouble getting my alarm to disable. Ill jump in the car in the morning, attach one of my many LED's (my remote aint in the best shape) press the unlock button and... no beep beep... so i'll try again... nothing. this goes on for about 10min or more and then finally (after me n my partner are frustrated as hell and bout to give up) it decides to beep beep disabling the alarm/immobilzer.. its really weird cause sometimes when I hop in the car and press it, it disables straight away. but other times it takes forever, (god forbid im in a rush when it decides to not work)

Any ideas guys? Im sure its not the alarm remote battery itself thats going flat cause it always lights up when I press it and I replaced the battery not too long ago. Could there be a battery installed in the alarm sensor in the car that could be goin dead?? or maybe a fuse... i really dunno, any ideas welcome,

cheers.

Sometimes mine doesn't beep but the lights flash twice and the doors unlock. Maybe just try to open the door by using the handle? Works for me.

yes, i often leave it without setting the alarm now but after 30 sec the immobilizer comes on no matter what with the doors shut without the keys in the ignition. i just lock the doors with the key now cause its such a hassle with the alarm notr working lol

my car won't beep but it flashes..i hate that it won't beep tho cuz i can't see if it flashes or not if its sunny. so i always go back and check = becoming paranoid if i don't..i wish it would beep

i had that problem for a while, it would lock but not beep. so i just redid the wiring from the car to the alarm and it worked fine, beeped every time. guessing they did a crap job when they put it in. my problem is now that my alarm doesnt seem to wanna turn off at all. I wouldnt mind if it just didnt beep. it just doesnt sense im pressing the alarm button or something... dam annoying

Is this the stock alarm or aftermarket?

stock alarm or aftermarket.. if it doesn`t go beep beep just press open and close button of the remote at the same time for .05 sec.

aftermarket. its weird its almost like its not recognising the remote im using. the same thing happened to my original one about 6 months ago. so i started using this one instead, now its happening to both.. cant win there

I meant for both aftermarket and stock you can do what I suggested.

the open button IS the close button on the stock alarm..

i know u ment either Jeunesse, i was just replying to xs94st. yeh my open button is the same as close but i still have 2 buttons on it... unsure what if anything the other does.

You know, I am curious about that second button too. I bought the celi off my dad a year or so ago and he said it never did anything for him. I thought it may be a trunk release, but as far as I know these cars didn't come with that option, right?

I've got a standard alarm (i think...has toyota logo moulded in plastic and toyota sticker on back) and mine has two buttons. Top to lock, bottom to unlock. The have arrows either facing towards each other (lock) or away (unlock).

I have that same problem. sometimes i have to unlock it with the key, get in quickly (alarm going off) then turn ignition key to the place just before when you actually start it (so everything works except the starter motor) hold down bottom buton and start the car (still holding it down) then i can use the bottom button to unlock it and turn the alarm off. Basically reset the alarm...PITA!!!!

Really need a solution....
