| We just bought a 2004 Avalon. I received two black keys and tried to have more copies made at the h/w store. They said I had a transponder in my keys, gave me an instruction sheet to "program" my new key. I'm turjning ON/OFF the ignition switch and opening the door as instructed. It wouldn't accept the new one. Figuring the former lost the valet key, I cancelled all keys but one. It only "accepts" 3 keys. Now it will not accept either old or newest key. Is there an updated procedure for 2004? My sheet says 2000+ and Lexus. Or is my timing of the process too fast/slow? Is there a TSB for this? Help! | |

Hi, I have a 2000 Avalon XLS and have never had a problem with the car until now. After placing my key in the ignition, I attempt to turn the key to the "ON" position to crank the car, but the key will not turn past the "ACC" setting. Is there some sort of security lock that has caused this. P.S. - The transmission is in the "Park" position. Any help would be appreciated. |

I have a 1996 Toyota Avalon have been experiencing my car alarm going off for no apparent reason. I took my car to the dealer and after several hours of checking they decided it was the remote battery. I replaced the remote battery but am still experiencing this problem. Anyone have any ideas on this topic.

abfisch, In an earlier post you mentioned, "Did you put those anti corrosion donuts on (green and red) and put lithium grease on the terminals??? I have 74K on my 02, make sure before winter that the terminals have grease or some kind of battery terminal sealer on it. The other thing I do in the spring, is take off the 6 cell covers, and with a small squirt bottle, fill up slowly and carefully with distilled H20 each cell." If I want to clean and perform this service on my 03, do I have any concerns with the alarm when I disconnect/connect terminals (negative off first??) - anything else?? Thanks! Dave

Replying to: dave_b (Oct 24, 2005 4:43 pm) To my knowledge. No. I have an aftermarket alarm with a remote starter (Avital Brand). I believe the clock or radio I had to reset, cannot remember, but all the other electrical connections, and I have alot of them direct to the battery including, alarm, car starter, two sets of auxillary lights, etc. had no effect. This is pretty much what they do, and it is not brain surgery. I have an XL, not an XLS, but I gotta think you can disconnect the terminals without major complications. What happens when you have to change your battery. Same. This is easy stuff, and stuff you can feel good about doing yourself and save money at the same time. Use safety glass, gloves, have a rag to wipe up spills quickly, etc. Should be a piece of cake. abfisch

I have a 2006 Avalon Limited with smart key (keyless ignition). I am having trouble having a remote starter installed because of the keyless system. The dealer said to embed one of key fobs into the engine compartment, but the after- market installer said this would allow anyone to approach the car and start it because the fob would be in range all the time. Does anyone have any experience with this or any information? Thanks
