I have a '98 GT. After having installed a new head unit and disconnecting the battery, the alarm went off when I tried to start the car. I disconnected the horn and played around with it for 10 minutes before I could get it to turn over and start. I have no idea what I did to get it to finally turn over. Can anyone explain the proper procedure to re-set the alarm after it has been triggered?

UPDATE: In case anyone has a similar problem, I had a young lady show me a much easier way to reset the factory anti theft alarm. The alarm on her Celica had gone off and discharged the battery. When we jump started her car, she showed me how to reset the alarm. All you have to do is place the key in the driver's side door lock and rotate from lock to unlock ten times. This resets the alarm if the battery is disconnected or goes dead.

That's not gonna work for people like myself, who have a factory alarm but not power windows or locks  Good tip for everyone else though! Thanks! --------------------  |
