hey I have a question hopefully someone one knows

Dealer installed an aftermarket alarm and it's going haywire in my mom's Rav-4

I pulled the 10A fuse for the alarm system and then she had to pull the horn fuse as it is still going off

anyone have any ideas as to how to reset aftermarket alarms? like a universal reset or something?

I've pulled both the fuse and the neg cable and nothing. <<<had to pull the fuse to allow her to drive the car at least

she has tried the valet button/reset button and nothing


ANY HELP is appreciated!

Did she just get it installed? Did it ever work correctly before?

is the rav 4 brand new ? if not check out the battery, sometimes if the battery is running low it'll trip your alarm system. If not take it back to the dealership and see if they can diagnose the problem.

yeah problem solved....thanks for the input everyone....

I had the fuse pulled about 2 hours and put back in for the system and it works fine now...

also got the battery tested and I replaced it (car battery)
