Celica Gen 7 Alarm Problem

[bluecelica]

I've done a search on the forum for my alarm problem and not seen anything the same, any suggestions appreciated, here goes:

Its a Gen 7 1999 model, I can remote unlock the doors (indicators flash, interior light comes on etc) but the alarm is staying armed and go's off when door is opened. Both buttons work on the keys i.e I can lock the car as well.

Other post's talk about leaving metallic things in the central console, wireless router interfearence, wind etc but mines not related to any of these.

Did read something about the bonnet catch though, could be a red herring...

Thinking about disconnecting the alam as a last resort, has anyone done this?

Cheers

Just thought I would let you the problem seems to have been the bonnet switch / sensor.

After driving the car around in valet mode all week a chap from an independent toyota specialist disconnected the bonnet switch and problem solved. Apparantly this is a common problem....
