How can I deactivate the alarm system?

I have a short draining the battery and I think it may be the alarm system. The alarm system started acting up about a year ago, making the horn beep hours after the car was locked.

SOURCE: when you try to start

I had the same problem last week ---- turn key to "on" position and then press and hold red button on dash for 3-9seconds and the alarm will stop. engine should now start.

EVERY Toyota dealer I called did not know what to do nor could they offer any ideas.
I figured it out after hours of playing with different paths.
This one actually worked..........

SOURCE: turn off alarm

put the key in the driver's side door key hole and turn the key to unlock it. Turn the key twice in the direction to unlock, I think it's top of the key towards the front of the car. Works on my wife's car

SOURCE: 2005 Toyota Corolla Car Alarm Problem

you may have to disconnect the battery for a minute or so ,this will reset the alarm. check your remote it does have a battery in it. otherwise you have to look for a fuse somewhere under the dash close to the fuse box.each one is diff. depending if it original toyota or aftermarket alarm.

Car will not start or even turn over - battery is good and starter is good

Do you have an alarm system? Try activating then inactivating the alarm system. Sometimes the alarm system will disable your ignition. You can also try using the key to unlock the driver door to deactivate. Some cars deactivate different ways once the alarm system disables the ignition.

How to reset anti theif alarm

There are different alarm systems, not same for all kind of cars. You should explain, by the way, what do you mean by "resetting" an alarm.
If you mean that you have an activated alarm and you want to deactivate it some can be deactivated by turning the start key.
Then, some have a hidden button you may press
Finally, some CAN'T be deactivated, only by remote.
You only can turn off the sound removing battery cable then deactivate physically the system and to do this you should know alarm installation techniques.
To change alarm coding you need and electronic tecnician.

Disconnect alarm

Yes,is possible.Because it'son when sitting still/not driving.Along with a lot of other things,like the cronemeter/clock.This stuff will drain a battery after sitting for a good while.Slowly,but still a drain.Most likely the battery has been in use for a good while and may need replaced,but if you don't wanna replace the battery,just disconnect the alarm system or pull the fuse from the panel to deactivate it.

We have an aftermarket car alarm installed, but have lost the remote. Our battery died and when we jumped it, the alarm reactivated itself and now we can't turn it off! We cannot start the vehicle unless...

I don't think that the alarm can be bypassed once installed. So you'll have to contact the aftermarket car alarm installer that put it in to try to get a new fob that will work with it, or else have it uninstalled by an alarm dealer.

I think the wires need to be traced to deactivate the alarm system, one way or another, because most alarms cut into the ignition or start wiring to prevent the vehicle from running.

My 1974 Buick Apollo has a short circuit in the

Is it a short or a drain on the battery? It's important because a short will blow a fuse and a drain will just deplete the battery.First ck your charging voltage at the battery posts. should be between 13.6 and 14.2 volts. Lower the volts the higher the charging ampereage.. AllOk? , Now remove the ground cable at the battery and put a test ight between the post and cable. The prob on the cable and the clamp lead on the batt post. If there is a drain the test light will come on. Make sure everything is off and the doors are closed.. If you have an alarm system, takte its fuse out temp.. If the lite does not come on, put the alarm fuse back in. If the light comes on, There is your drain. If the battery is properly charged, it should tolerate the alarm.. Good luck

Battery drain

Best bet is to disconnect the clock and disable the alarm and see if you still have a drain. If you do, it's likely that it's something inside the computer (although that seems far-fetched). Chances are there are more components than that in the suspect circuit. However, that being said, I'd suspect the alarm system - the ECU doesn't really draw power with the car off, per se, and the clock is a minimal drain. Something shorting out in the alarm however, will likely drain your battery quickly. I have seen faulty sensors added as part of an alarm system cause battery drains in the past.
