car problems, car problems and more car problems LOL okay

this might be a dud question BUT i need answers NOW

so like if u dont already know my car was in an accident but its only like little damage in the rear panels

and like LOL the car still worked and everything, its just my rear bumper was half off so i decided not to drive it to school anymore

left it in the garage for about 1 week ? and then when i tried to start it up like sometime last week it wouldnt work lols and like in the ignition bit the alarm went on

but then when i pulled the key out it stopped, so then my friends told me its prob the car battery since u didnt drive it & told me to check my lights

so i did and when i switched on my lights the alarm went on n then when i switched it back off it went off

now, i left the car battery inside still waiting on what do to (some friends saying take the battery out then use cable wires to charge it, others are saying i need a whole new battery)

and when i came home like an hr ago, i heard an alarm ringing - went to the garage LOL and wouldnt u know it my car is making this fkn loud alarm noise

i tried to use the remote to open it but it didnt work, so i used the LOL key to get in

i tried to start the car up but it didnt work and when it hit the ignition bit the alarm tone was slightly abit lower (as if the battery was running out on it)

then when i took the key out it went back to the normal tone as before

i checked my steering wheel and like its locked but when i tried to start up the car it wasnt anymore

theres no flashy lights or anything as to say whats the problem

so like the alarm noise is still going off atm, kind of getting annoying LOL

but what do i do, and why did the alarm noise go on in the first place is my question

It should of came with a key when you bought it, Then you have a little box under the bonnet which you put the key in

If you can't find your key for that, disconnect the negative lead on battery.

I'm guessing your battery has drained almost completely dead.

whens the last time you changed your battery?

batteries can last from 2 to 10 years. depending on how you use it. I was going onto my 6th year and a couple of weeks ago i accidently left the headlights on tried starting and jumping and it had already gone to battery heaven so i had to replace it.

When batteries die they don't give enough power to certain circuits and relays in your car to support it. I.e. hence why your car alrm is going off constantly. Was the same with my brothers type R when we first bought it. Just telling you that you need to recharge it or replace it.

Might be the backup battery for the Alarm that's keeping it running.

wait okay LOL so i decided to take out the whole battery when i did this, the tone changed abit so it was doing something

then i found that little box u were talking about, and theres a speaker and a small key hole LOL but i dont have the key

my mate wants to snip one of the wires thats coming from that LOL to stop the noise (im kinda scared about that)

theres 2 wires coming from the little box, ones connected to a latch and the other is like LOL "*** knows where"

edit: just called old owner, he said he didnt get no key too ahhh

Snipping the wire won't necessarily stop the noise. I'd just get a bunch of old clothes or something and plug the siren up for now, at least it'll be quieter. If you want to preserve the alarm, the best thing would be to call an auto electrician (NOT lube mobile or those sorts of scams). They'll have it disabled within minutes. The guy's probably having you on when he says he didn't get a key (unless the previous owner didn't give it to HIM or something).

HAHA! my friend has that problem. the alarm has back up battery. what you do is just put a rag over the siren or something... it will help. make it wet, it will decrease the noise i think :D

so is it stopping now??

LOL WITH MY INTELLIGENT AA+ SKILLS, AND MY MATES CABLE WIRES, it is now FIXED - YES FIXED LOL the alarm is off & the car is working

(turns out i didnt need a new battery & the alarm just turned off itself when we cable wired it)

okay so, what i did was cable wire it to my sisters s15, LOL it didnt go because not enough energy

so we used her bfs v8, however when i tried to turn the key to start the engine the alarm noise went back on and then when i pulled the key out the alarm noise turned off

so my mate was like try turning the car on while holding the "unlock" button on the remote so i did, and wouldnt u know it

cars back on WOOHOO lols drove it down the block - filled up petrol with my car turned ON LOL and then came home and turned it back off

and dw it still works LOL because i tried to turn it back on after turning it off & it worked so yay

everythings worked out well

      05 hiace ecu

      Hi all, new member needing some help with an issue that has me stumped, replacing ignition and had a short somehow. Van would not crank or obviously start, found blown fuse and replaced, now car cranks but won’t start, no check engine light when ignition is first turned on and scan tool will not communicate with ecu. All fuses good except fuse 26 on instrument panel fuse box has no power. almost convinced my ecu is cooked but before outlaying for a new one thought someone may either advise another possible cause or confirm ecu likely the issue, appreciate any advise or experience similar.

      1989 Hilux Low Voltage

      Hey all, recently got a 1989 Hilux with the petrol 22r engine. I had plugged a voltage meter into the 12v socket because I suspected an electrical problem as the battery light had been on. It had read 11.9 volts initially but the more I drive the more it deteriorates, currently sitting at 10.9 (after several hours of driving) when the engine is running. This obviously doesn't charge the battery and it can't start by itself. I have since replaced the battery and yesterday I did the alternator with a brand new one. I've checked all the grounds that I can see but it's still sitting at 10.9 volts and deteriorates over time. I was thinking the voltage regulator is the next best bet? I looked at it visually and it seems fine. Anyone got any other ideas? Note: I had a very long drive the other week and on one occasion the voltage spiked back up to 15+ volts for a short while before going back down to about 11.4 And yeah I'm trying not to drive it too much because I know it's probably damaging the battery being on such low voltage. Any help would be awesome thanks!

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      Photo below showing remotely mounted relay for sup pump and switch to connect relay coil to earth when required. The earth connection for the switch was found using a test light in an empty relay socket just near where the relay is now mounted. You can trace the solid black wire. Btw, I soldered all the crimp connectors. I don't have a lot of faith in crimp connectors. Geoff

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      No, I didn't see a fuel filter, but the inside of the tank was spotless. The pump wasn't running - blocked filter or not. Geoff

      Geoff, did you check the fuel filter that protects the transfer pump from blockages? Tony

      Wanting to build my car.

      I’ve brought my first car a while ago it’s a 2008 Toyota Aurion sportivo zr6 it has 215xxx kms I’ve been wanting to modify it as it is tidy but I’m unsure if I should since the car is this old and I have had to replace the oil cooler lines a month ago (my car dumped its oil on me) just unsure if they go good after a certain age. what I do want to do to it is. wheels lowering springs or coil overs stiffer sway bar exhaust tint all round after market head lights and tail lights (if any of you know decent ones could you shear a link as I’ve only been able to find some on eBay) if there is anything else that would make it look good like body kits if there are any would be nice to know. Thanks in advance IMG_0918.cr2

      2004 hzj79 surging/jolting

      Gday Ive got a problem with my 2004 hzj79 with 235,000kms with no turbo, ive takin it to a few places all have different answers. At 1400rpm just on light throttle it seems to be surging/jolting as if your on and off the accelerator. Ive recently had the head gasket, head, injectors, fuel filters and timming belt all done and is still happening after the works been done. Has anyone else had the same problem before or be able to point me in right direction? Cheers.

      Australian customers gullible ?

      Not sure if this thread is still active, but It's 2024 and nav is still a problem in my 2018 Prado. I paid for an update, but I haven't noticed any difference, maps are still out of date. I tend to use my phone, but I would prefer to use the existing screen. I think you're right, if enough of us complained or cared, maybe something would be done to improve this problem... we are customers and we paid well for it! Hopefully we are not a dumping ground for old tech!

      Gen 6 Cluster Backlighting Issues

      Hey guys, I'm having issues with the gauge cluster backlighting keep blowing fuses every time I turn on my lights. I have tried cleaning connections, replaced the lights and even removed the dimmer switch. Has anyone come across this issue at all?
