Default How do I turn on the beep for keyless entry on a 97 ES300?

I just bought a 97 ES300, it doesn't beep when I lock or unlock the car with the remote. Is there a switch or **** to turn it on? I did a search but nothing came up. Thanks for any help.

On your '97 ES, there should be a small circular **** control under the dash, near the driver's knee and close to the TRAC OFF button. This **** sets the volume of the beep when locking/unlocking the car. Most likely, the **** is already set to "no sound" position, so just crank it to the max and you should be all set.

Thumbs up

Agreed! That's exactly how I discovered I had a "beep" in the first place. The information should also be in your owners manual too.

Please don't tell me you did all that just to get the beep? It just happened that way, right?

Default Thanx

hey, that was very helpful. When I first bought the car like 4 months ago it didn’t beep. I didn’t pay much attention cause my previous Lexus same year and model also didn’t beep. I figured probably because it’s old. Anyways after like a month it started to beep but very low. I really got happy cause I hate it when there’s no sound when locking/unlocking my doors. Then all of a sudden it stopped beeping again. That’s when I started to look why am I having this problem. I thought I knew my car inside and out. I guess not. Thanks for your help, you guys are awesome.
