I have a stock ATX and today the car has started beeping approx every 5mins

It emits 3 beeps with the same tone as when you unlock or lock the car

Seems to only be happening while its parked but whilst driving home today we did hear the sounds but it maybe have only been 2 beeps.

Anyone got any idea what this may be?

Its gonna drive me nuts!

Taking the battery out of the remote on the AT-X is not going to make any difference. I haven't heard of a case where it beeps like what you have mentioned. Only other type of beep I have come across is a long 10 second beep if you leave a door open when you try and lock it.

I wonder if disconnecting rhe battery to "reset" would do anything?

Worth a shot I guess. You've got nothing to lose except for your clock and radio settings. Just leave it unplugged for 30 minutes and see what happens after that.

Maybe check all your fuses while waiting as well. Might be some form of indications of a blown fuse.

Battery has been disconnected now for about 20 mins and its still beeping!

Grrrrr

Does anyone know where the sound comes from to i can muffle it or something so it's not going off all night and keeping me awake?

As in it's beeping while the battery is disconnected?

Either way, the buzzers look like this and there is one on each headlight. Simply covering it up probably won't work due to the frequency of the beep that will be hard to mask. As well, it beeps through the headlight housing. You would probably need to disconnect it. To do this you follow that blue and white wire till you get to the point where it can be unplugged:

Yes it is managing to produce the sound even though the battery is disconnected.

How ... i have no idea.

Have you talked to Toyota?

It is obviously beeping for a reason.

My girl friend was looking over my shoulder reading this and apart from laughing at at me for reading a car forum she said "It is probably someone playing a prank". Is it the same beep as when you lock/unlock your car? Or is it different?

Take it straight back to toyota, they can run the diagnostics. If it sounds like the car is unlocking, perhaps the reciever on the alarm is playing up?

In my old car the alarm got effected by strong CB radio signals, I would be driving along and suddenly the car would go nuts like it was posessed or something, doors unlocking and re-locking.

wait...that can't be DJKOR discussing a muffle solution

that is so not like DJKOR

think you should take it to Toyota and ask whats wrong

follow DJKOR's instructions aftwards to make sure your dealer didn't just unplug it to brush you off

I was discussing a muffle solution because I highly doubted a dealer would be open at the time he asked the question (07:57 PM on a Sunday night). I'm sure you'd be thinking of trying to muffle it given the circumstances.

I didn't I would need to suggest to take it to Toyota because that would just be common sense.

      Need Advice please

      Suggest that you look at an online catalogue for struts/shock absorbers specifically for the Year and Model specification for your Camry. Easiest way to clean fuel injectors is to use a fuel additive together with decent quality fuel.

      What can cause 2x bolts Missing on break calipers?

      For starters, you are referring to the BRAKE calipers. Missing bolts is highly probable that whoever last worked on the braking system did not properly tighten the bolts to the correct torque specification. Presumably, the brake pads were replaced approximately 6 months ago.

      What can cause 2x bolts Missing on break calipers?

      Hi All, I have sent my car to a local mechanism shop as I heard a big scary clunk noise from the front left wheel part recently. And a huge surprise came back to me is, they told me that my break calipers has two bolts missing. I don’t think it is a common problem caused by daily routine driving. So really need to find out what was happened to that 2 bolts?! How lucky I was for driving nearly half a year without a tight break!! I even have kids on my car… can’t think more now. It’s terrifying 😱

      Engine Immobiliser

      Hi Chris, I would suggest getting a code scan as well mate as it could be something locking out the security starting process, and it may make tracking it down faster for you maybe worth the fee for a mobile mechanic who can do that for you as I doubt it will be a fuse or relay causing it sounds,like something in the security side of the process. I am sure if any others have ideas they will post it, these are just guesses on my part so I hope you get it sorted fast mate KAA

      Fuse boxes info

      I have a Toyota tarago 2002 acr30. I'm trying to find out where I can get the contents list of all the items in the fuse boxes. I think it has 4. I only have one cover in the engine bay fuse box. The other three have no information anywhere. Need to know what the items ( fuses, relays ) are for ?? If anyone can help would be a nights sleep for me..

      Rav4 Nightmare After Dodgy Mechanic

      Hey everyone, hope you're doing well! Unlike me and my Toyota, which is currently in a bit of a mess, haha. I'm reaching out for some help, feeling pretty desperate, to be honest. My 2013 Rav4 2AD-FTV Turbo Diesel is on the verge of being a total loss thanks to a dodgy mechanic who really messed things up. My car's was pristine, but then it blew the head gasket. I acted quickly, called up a mechanic recommended by a friend, and he towed my car away promising to assess the damage. He later reported that the engine was still in great shape but needed the head gasket reshaped to fix the issue. Weeks turned into months, and despite numerous promises and missed deadlines, my car remained in the shop. The mechanic stopped answering my calls or messages, and when I finally tracked down my car, it was sitting outside another workshop, unable to start. Cut to now, after seeking help from a reputable diesel specialist, they've replaced seals, checked compression, swapped injectors, and pretty much everything possible. But my car still struggles to idle, and they suspect the previous mechanic may have messed up something electronic or electrical. I'm at my wit's end. No auto electrician seems willing to touch it, fearing it's a money pit with no guarantee of success. It's incredibly frustrating, especially considering I may lose the car. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

      Door seals - causing internal leak

      Hi experts need some help. I have a 2004 Sahara 100series. With all this rain we are having my car has started leaking. It was my father in laws car. It’s leaking water down the pillar trim where the handle is inside front seats onto the dash, down the side of airbag and glovebox and dripping from corner foot area where dash ends and onto the floor. I can see the seal on the roof above the door has a gap in it. Could this be it? 1Q. Who would I get to look at this? 2Q. Anyone had this issue before? 3Q. Where do I begin. Thanks in advance, Sarah IMG_3589.mov

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      Kanga, You wouldn't believe it, I found a pump at a Victorian wrecker. He posted it to me but to the wrong address. It was 10 days before I found this out. I went to the wrong address and they said the didn't see it. Austpost is adamant it was delivered. The wrecker fortunately has another one. So, I haven't taken the old one out yet.
