HELP! Alarm in kill mode & can't bypass alarm or turn off.

jodeci227 · #1 11-27-2004, 10:56 AM

We bought a 1988 supra. After getting it home (& opening the door) the alarm went off. Evidently the previous owner forgot to tell us that there is a short in the drivers side door so that when the alarm goes off, u can't use the key to unlock the door and thus shutting off the alarm. We have tried everything, from unlocking the passenger side door with the key to unhooking the battery to reset it. We can't get it to even turn over. It seems to be in the kill mode.
Thanks for anyones help.

try arming it again(red light flashing) then unlocking it from the pass side with the key. if that doesnt work then push it off i heard that doing this will disable the alarm to

You could just pull the fuse for the security system, its in the little box by the battery. It worked for my 89.
