96 Camry RS-3000 Alarm Problems. HELP !!!!

[Steve Williams]

Hi, I have a 96 Camry with a factory instaled Toyota RS-3000 Alarm System.

Recently the alarm activated and would not shut off. Thus, I was forced to remove the 20-AMP "Dome Circuit" Fuse and remove the Horn Relay next to the air filter so as to disable the alarm.

Unfortunately, by doing this, I understandably now have no radio, dome light, or anything else getting power from that circuit.

Hence, I need to fix this Alarm Problem. Any Help an/or Input would be most welcomed and greatly appreciated, since I am truly frustrated with this entire dilema.

Does anyone have a schematic for this Toyota RS-3000 Alarm System, or, a trouble shooting flow-chart ???

This is what takes place; As soon as this "Dome Circuit" gets 12VDC, the alarm immediately activates.

The Alarm LED light blinks rapidly along with the Horn, Head-Lights, Flashers., and the Door-Ajar Light on the Dash.

However, the car will still start and run. All the while with the alarm being activated and sounding.

This is what I have done while attempting to de-activate the alarm;

- I tried turning the key and cycling it to the accs. position and then to the off position three times and more, with no success.

- I tried pressing in the green button on the side of the RS-3000 Black Module located under the driver's seat, again, no success.

- I looked everywhere for a valet switch but have not been able to find one to depress.

- HOWEVER, when I open any of the doors, the alarm stops. But as soon as I close the door, the alarm resumes.

Understandably, I am truly frustrated and would greatly welcome and appreciate any input and/or suggestions that anyone might have in helping me resolve this problem with my alarm.
Many Thanks and I look forward in hearing from you.
