Hi,

I was wondering if someone could help.

I purchased a 1991 4runner and disconnected the battery today.

When I reconnected it the alarm comes on and I don't know how to turn
it off.

I don't have a remote - I only have the key.

How do I turn off the alarm.

The car won't start b/c the alarm is on.

Thanks.

Ed

See if there is a valet button mounted somewhere under the dash or
driver's seat. Unlock the door with the key, put the key in the ignition
and turn it to ON. Simply push the valet button and the alarm will
disable.

Another option is to find the alarm computer and try removing the fuse
and/or unplugging the connector. If that doesn't allow your engine to
start you'll need to trace the wiring and figure out how the ignition
disable feature is wired. If you post the make and model of the alarm
system (most probably, Viper) someone here may be able to help you
further.

what is your alarm system? if it is an aftermarket one it should be very easy to disable. for most of them you can just remove the 'brains' of the alarm and you will be set. while a factory installed alarm is a bit more difficult. you have to jump where the ignition is disabled, a wire placed on either side of the disable switch will do that. and the location of that can vary drasticly, but you should beable to find it with some looking. GL if you can find out brand and such let me know and I may beable to help more.

Hi Travis,

Thanks.

There was a very tiny little switch left of the cutch pedal (it took
some time to find) and I guess that was is the valet button and
follwoing your instructions I seem to be back in business.!!!

a 1000 thanks to you.

Ed.

You are very welcome.

See if you can verify the model number of the alarm. If it is a common
system such as the Rattler or Viper you can get spare remotes on eBay
for about $20 or less. They are programmed using the valet button and
the instructions in the link I sent you. Then you'll have a fully
functional alarm system.

Have a good day!

The car THINKS it is being stolen, that's why it won't start.

You have to locate the controller for the security system and disable it.
Because there are millions of different systems out there, there are
millions of different things to do that will disable the system.
