Brain trust,
I’m 90% sure I know the initial cause of this. There has been a grinding noise coming from the passenger door lock when I lock or unlock the doors since it got cold. So I think that caused the alarm to think the door lock was not in the correct position. I need to fix either the micro switch or lock servo. But this is my problem;
Any button on my fob causes the alarm to go off. I can lock and unlock all of my doors using the key on the driver’s door handle or lock/unlock switches on the inside of the door. Nothing else causes the alarm to go off other than the fob.
I couldn’t find any other thread specifically related to the fob except one with no answer. I’m at my girlfriends house about to drive from Tacoma to Whistler. So, no tools and no computer to read fault codes. This is causing me to freak out and think we might get stuck.
1. Is there anything that will cause the immobilizer to kill the car?
2. Any other ideas on what might be causing it?
Thanks
Brian
