Changed fob battery on my remote for my RAV4 and left the fob open for a few hours. When I put the fob back together later that day it now seems the fob wont open the door and I have to open it by key but then the alarm goes off. How do I get my fob/remote to work the alram and open the doors without using the key? Thank you

Your Central locking wire is short from any one door side. Please check it properly.

have u checked and replaced the battered in ur alarm/central locking fob ??
SOURCE: when we use our key fob to lock the doors, i know
You should be able to just unlock the door with the key, and even if the alarm is still going of try to start it the key should override the alarm.

If the alarm is factory alarm , then there will be no valet switch.--------If the alarm is after market alarm, then here will be valet switch.Its like a toggle switch.This is to disable alarm.---------
The valet switch is usually located in the lower left kickpanel. Start off by turning the key on, then flip the valet switch the other way. If done correctly, the alarm LED will light up solid. Turn the key off.
The lower left kick panel is where the left foot would be resting. There's a panel next to the left foot area. Look for a toggle switch in that area.

But if its after market alarm, and there is no toggle switch, then you need to get the alarm module connection wire disconnected.--------- Getting it done at dealer or at professional auto part store will be helpful.But if its original factory alarm, then dealer can only disable the alarm.-------

Basically they charge between $50 to $100.As per time consumed.The alarm is connected to ignition, fuel pump,computer and other electrical parts like door and modules.------ So exact connection has to be disconnected.-------------
If there is no valet switch seen, then getting it disabled at dealer will be helpful.But also consult, local auto parts store.Some have exact schematics for alarm connections, so as per that they can also do it, if its after market alarm.--------
This will help.Thanks.Helpmech.
