Hi. I have a dead fob for my 98 corolla & my immobiliser is stuck on.. can anyone help? I went to the dealerships in which the gent said the fob has had it & will need to be replaced. However new fob from dealership is discontinued & I couldn't code a new one in without the old fob. The only help they offered was to refer me to an auto elect to install a new "mongoose" immobiliser.. Frankly the car dosent represent the quote & I just want my immobiliser off so it's drivable. Any help or advice I would really appreciate it. Thanks

Don't know about the Corolla specifically, but the immobilizer can be disabled on Camrys of the same vintage pretty easily with a little electronics knowledge. I would suggest finding the part number of your ECU and searching for "<part number> immobilizer eeprom reset". You may find someone who is capable of doing it if the process seems too daunting.
