Remote Problem
Hi everyone,
I recently suffer with the remote problem for my car.
My car is 97 es, with this remote
The remote stopped working for a month already, I tried to change the battery, but it still won't work...
When I use the key to lock the car, the Red light (security alarm light) in my car is still flashing.
I am wondering if it is the remote problem or the security system..
How to check which one have problem?
I found that it is very inconvenient to use key to unlock instead of the remote (especially @ school with HUGH parking lot & bad memories)
Too bad that some one broke into my car couple days ago,,, so i decided to treat my car better with not using the key to unlock
Please help

You need a new remote. On your remote is has a "FCC ID" followed by a bunch of numbers. Type the numbers into ebay and many remotes will pop up.
With a new remote you should be able to program it yourself, if not the dealer will do it for a small charge or a car electronics shop will do it for a small charge.

There's no Toyota dealer either?? If not (where do you live that there is no Toyota dealer??) then as a last resort if you go to Pepboys they have a setup for checking if the remote is putting out a signal. Try that.
