speedophile Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 lads my car is a non-runner at the moment... the car has been sitting on the drive about a week and the main car battery has died so i went and bought myself a new battery fitted it and I jumped into the car to start it and the fob wont knock off the alarm then I noticed the battery was dead in it also arrrrrh ... so back into town got a new battery for my fob put it in and the light was super strong on it so I tought thats me sorted, got home press the button and it still wont knock of the alarm, I have tried it loads of times and still no joy... its really doing my head in that I cant start the car, it seems to be a genuine toyota alarm (going by the fob) that is fitted and on the fob keyring theres a small key fitted can anyone tell me if this is for turning the alarm off and were would the alarm unit be fitted as its not around the engine bay... when sitting in the car I can hear a beeping sound in the panel behind the drivers seat when the alarm is going off would it be fitted in there.. ANY IDEAS AS I NEED TO GET THE CAR GOING this is the fob and small key on the keyring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 No idea where the stock alarm is but most aftermarket alarms go behind the stereo. There are 3 boxes underneath my drivers seat that I have no idea what for. Maybe one of them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedophile Posted January 27, 2011 Author Share Posted January 27, 2011 If I knew the small key was for switching the alarm off i'd pull the panels of to find the alarm because i dont think its for anything else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keefred Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 The actual siren will be under the bonnet somewere and has a plastic cover over the key slot, I don't know if it actually turns off the whole alarm or is just used to silence the siren. I would guess looking at the key and fob it may well be an old scorpion alarm, if it is the key hole is definately on the siren, least it was on the 2 I have had.
