Car Alarms/2005 Rave 4 K-9 issue

Question
I cannot disarm my K-9 alarm system! I hit the alarm to get into the car and it wouldn't disarm. I thought it was the clicker battery so I changed that, it still wouldn't disarm. AAA came out, got in the car while the alarm was creaming, turned the key to the right and hit the override switch but it still wouldn't disarm. A couple of hours prior to this, the car was serviced at the Toyota Dealer, who said it was about time for a new battery, when you open the door the alarm screams until it rearms it self. Could it be the battery that is causing the problem?
Hmmmm,
Make sure you do the procedure correctly.
Might have missed a step:
PUT IGNITION KEY IN IGNITION,
KEY ON TO JUST BEFORE CRANKING THE ENGINE.
PRESS IN AND HOLD VALET SWITCH
UNTIL YOU GET A RESPONCE
FROM THE ALARM.
KEY OFF.
This should toggle the alarm in and out of
valet/override.
I hope this solved it for you.
If not. look forward to removal/replacement
or repair.

| Comment | Yes it worked the second time, had to keep pushing the override and it finally worked. The shop I took it to said the sencer wire that controls the alarm was danaged due to the alarm conrol. He said likely the wrong button had been pushed on the remote control button which shorted out the alarm control wire. It cost me $179 dollars for labor, a new remote(this one only has two buttons on and off)and new remote control wiring. Thank you so much for your help | ||
