Question
I have a 94 Toyota camry LE.Last saturday suddenly in the afternoon when my car was parked in the parking my security alarm started going off. I went to the car and reset the toggle switch. I opened the bonnet and saw that the battery holder made of rubber was broken.I immediately replaced it.I thought the problem was solved. On Sunday my car was fine. But from monday again whenever i park my car anywhere the alarm goes off. Its like the horn starts honking and the parking lights start blinking. I am unable to understand the problem now.I am also unaware about the exact setting of the toggle switch. Whether it should be in driver's direction or in the opposite direction? Please help me with this.

Answer
It's an after market system from your description.
Probably dealership installed when
it was purchased originaly.

The shock/impact sensor seems the culprit here.
It's likely to be found under the dash area, blinking
when anything taps on the underpanel.
Locate and either unplug or turn down.
To simply disarm it, locate and use the
valet/overide switch.

To start, look under the dash area for a button or,
a toggle switch. When you locate it, turn on the
ignition key, press and hold in the button (little
spring loaded micro button, red or black possibly)
until the alarm chirps 1 time. This should over ride
the system, and only the keyless entry part,
if installed, would still be operating.
Or if the toggle type, key on, and flip the
switch in the opposite direction to reset.
The LED (light emiting diode) light in the dash
should also go on solid.=VALET/OVERIDE

This stops the alarm except for the keyless
entry if installed.

Once in Valet mode, it will allow the car
to start and operate like there was no alarm at all.
Simply repeat the same steps to go back to
user mode.

Let me know how it goes.
