The knob with the bulb is for your dash lights, it will turn them up or dim them down.

Does the remote work at all? if not, try changing the bulb. The security may be shut off or not activating.

Does the alarm work, if it does, it just maybe that light is out. As far as that, no I don't. Sorry.

Two ways I can test the alarm on my 2002 Celica GT.

1. Roll a window down and lock the car. Open the door from the inside and my alarm goes off.

2. Lock the car and then unlock the trunk with the key. On my car the alarm goes off even though I used the key. Have a friend unlock it just for a laugh. You put the key in and turn the car on to turn the alarm off.
