alarm remote problem Options

[GaryZR]

hey guys im sort of new on this site. i have the factory toyota alarm that came with my 95 zr and i seem to have a problem with the remote. i unplugged the module under the passengers seat then put it back in and the remote would still not work. i put a brand new battery in the remote the light only comes up when i press hard on the button. sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt. i was unable to drive my car for a week! so now im locking the car with the key. i was wondering if i could find another 'celica remote' and how would i program it. where can i find another remote? i have checked this forum and ebay, no luck.

Hi mate,

Your better off getting a new alarm, then trying to fix the current issue.
The standard alarm is out of date now, security wise. So your better off upgrading to a new 3 point immobilisers, black wiring and you can get a few more features like window lifters etc.

The following might help - Did for me

1. Make sure it's all plugged back in
2. Put the key in the intition and turn it to on (not start, i.e. you can use all the stuff like lights/radio but the engine is not running)
3. Hold down the bottom button on the alarm fob (and keep holding)
4. Start the car (still holding button)
5. When started, release alarm buttom.
6. Take out key, get out of car and try to lock it using the fob.

Hope this Helps

I just had to reprogram mine this past week after having my battery disconnected for a while. It was a fluke that I figured it out, but the steps LTom posted are the basic procedure. I just turned the ignition to ON, then pressed and held the bottom remote button. The light would come on, then after a few seconds the light flashed a few times. Then I turned off the car, pressed the top button on the remote, and everything worked again.
