Alarm system problems?

Electrical problem
1997 Toyota Camry 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic

I recently asked for assistance with my alarm that was preventing me from starting my car. I had broke my alarm pad months ago and never used the alarm since, my battery died at walmart 3 days ago *thank god it was still there today!* Well, I would like to let you guys know where the "kill" button is for a 1997 Toyota Camry because you would have to be psychic to figure it out, or be irritated (like I was) and just start pushing stuff. It is the LED LIGHT! The actual red bulb! It pushes in and bam! There you go, you have power! Thanks

Ever since I had the computer rebuilt my alarm goes off at random times. I have however been in the parking lot and when someone close sets or unsets their alarm and it will set my alarm to sound. And they can hit their alarm button again and cut it off. Other times it just seems to sound for no reason

I have the exact same problem, it's been going on for month. I've fixed it before, but now I've scanned the manual cover and cover and can't find any information on the situation.

Help! My Car alarm wont go off unless I disconnect the battery. There is a switch just above the pedals that doesn't do anything (looks like a kill switch). This problem began when the car wouldn't turn over. The alarm quickly sounded for about three muinutes, then it stopped, only to begin again when I opened the car door to get out. Again, the only way I can disable the alarm at this point is to disconnect the battery ( I got a new one, thinking an old battery mght be contributing to the problem). Do I need to pull out a fuse, and if so, which one? My owner's guide/manual has absolutely nothing about an alarm system, or a key to which fuses go with what. Any advice would be really helpful. Thanks!

Mine is acting the exact same way. Did you find a fix for it?

Thanks!

Mine does the same thing-- the alarm goes off at random times-- VERY annoying.
I discovered that the following sequence will
turn it off:

1. Use the key to open the door
2 start the car
3 turn car off
4 start the car again.

Also, my husband discovered that he could pull the fuse for the horn, and then the alarm connot go off (but then you can't use the horn)

I just figured mine out. This is what I did.
1. If the alarm is going off, unhook the battery.
2. Put the key in the switch.
3. Reconnect the battery.
5. Turn the key to the battery on position.
6. The alarm light should go solid. If not, flip it back the other way.
That's it!

I bought the car from a friend and she had a car alarm installed a couple of years back. Last night I went to get in my car and could not disable the alarm with the switch. I thought maybe the battery had died so I went to go buy a new one and that did not work. Can my mechanic just disable it for me?

Hello scsmith, I actually don't have a solution, but I do share the same problem, with the same car even ha! We bought the car used with a keyless entry system, I'm thinking it has a kill switch on it also. Because when I go to start it. It will click. I'll keep turning the key then it will kick right over. But there are days that I'd have to try for almost 30 min at the turn key. I tried following the wires tested the starter but all are good. I'm afraid to take it to the shop, due took the expensive diagnostic fee that they will charge. I think taking it to a Car Audio place will be less expensive for you. Or maybe purchase another system and have them take that exsisting one out for you. Sorry didn't have a difinitive answer for you. Thought it would help to know that someone else is experiencing same problem. Ha!

Why thank you erjoe2004. Well the mechanic got it to work and at no charge. Of course when he opened the door the alarm started going off. He popped opened the hood and disconnected the left cord connected to my car battery. He then put it back on and the was able to turn off the alarm with my controller. Its been working fine every since then. Maybe you should try that with yours.

Yaah! Glad you got your car going. Hmm. I think I may have a different problem then. Ha! Oh well, I'm gonna try the car audio place. And if they can't help I'm gonna burn it! Ha. Nah, I'm gonna have to follow from the ignition wiring to somewhere.

I just bought a 94 Camry that has an aftermarket alarm. The battery ran down and when I jumped it the alarm went nuts and I couldn't start the car until I disabled it.

Anyway, the fob barely works and I'd like to disable the alarm permanently so I don't have to deal with this again.

Can you tell me how I do this?

Thanks!

Most of the time when a aftermarket alarm is put in they try to put them in under the dash on the drivers side, you should be able to look under the dash and find it. It should have 2-3 wire harneses comeing out of it and might be a black box, about4-5 inches long 2-3 inches wide 1 inch thick. Should be able to unplug the harneses and remove the box and that should take care of the alarm.
