khans52 Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 Hello, forum, Ever since this weekend, every 5-10 minutes the alarm on my '99 RX300 beeps as if I'm locking the car (single beep). I thought while I was doing housework this weekend that perhaps I was inadvertantly hitting the key in my pocket. But I heard it about 3 times this morning while getting ready for work (keys in my drawer). Has anyone ever seen/heard this? Is my battery dying? Is there a loose wire? Is my key going haywire? Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. -Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artinist Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 i have heard of a similar problem. in that case, if you pressed the lock button on the remote and lock the car, a few seconds later, it would lock again by itselfs. disconnect the battery, press the brake lights and reconnect the battery see if it helps.

MRubenzahl Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 My symptoms were that when I turn the car off and get out, in a few seconds (5-10), the alarm go off. Pressing the unlock button on the remote key stops it and I can them lock the car and set the alarm, but next time I start and stop the car, the same would happen. A quick disconnect of the battery did not fix it but a longer disconnect (over 5 minutes) seems to have fixed it. I also pressed the brake pedal while the battery was disconnected, for good measure. So far, so good. And by the way, it's a 10-mm nut holding the battery cable (saving you a trip back to the toolbox). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
