i forget how to disable the alarm the normal way
but you have to "unset " the alarm

Thanks for the reply..but the problem is.. I do reset the alarm..but everytime I unlock the doors, it sets the alarm off again. So the question is...how do you "unset" the alarm?

I got stuck in a mall parking lot like that. Here is what you do. Got this from a Toyota tech. Even if the alarm is going, insert your key into the door lock, turn it twice to the open position (2 turns right). That should shut it down and let you drive away. Sometimes it is better to use the passenger door because of continuous use the drivers side may get worn out. This worked for me and I nearly kissed the friggin ground when I got out of that lot. GOOD LUCK! I hope you didn't do anything crazy in the meantime like pullin wires and stuff.

How'd it turn out. Did you get it started and get the alarm re-set? You ask for advice, then just leave us hangin? I kinda like to know how the story finishes.
