Reset of anti theft 2003 toyota carolla

After changing the battery on the car the dash lights and turn signals blink as though the emergency switch is energized. Last time it happened I was told that the anti theft switch had to be reset. But, Where is it and what does it look like?

    It did not work. The vehicle is a 1993 Toyota carolla not a 2003.

To reset the anti-theft, put key in ignition, turn to on but do not start, you must leave in ON position for exactly 10 minutes, once the light shuts off, immediately start car.

    Does your check engine light turn on when the anti-theft is activated? If it does, that is the light I was refering to shutting off after 10 minutes.

    If that light wasn't on, then here are some other things I would try:

    The anti-theft on the radio... there is a code that came with the car
    when you buy it then you need to punch in the code. If you don't have
    it the dealership should have it.


    take the alam fuse out and start it then wait for a couple minuts to put the fuse back in.

    I got that problem recently. Alarm system was triggered when i replaced old battery and install new one. I was not able to start my car. The reason was in aftermarket alarm. It sits between ignition and immobilazer. Solution was to disable that alarm system

How do I disable or reset my anti theft can I bypass it sumone tried to steal my 2001 toyota carolla and busted up the ignition and housing and I need to move it or its gonna be towed help please

Most car security system has a secret button which they call, "an emergency override switch" the switch is always hidden inside the car. Its only the owner who can access that button. That switch can be turned off to disable the anti-theft. It might under the carpet.

2003 f150 turns over but wont crank, also theft light blinking fast

Usually means the sensor in the lock cylinder is not reading the code in the key.
If the pass key system does not get the right signal from the key the truck will not start.
You might try taking the key off your ring - put it in the lock and turn the switch on - but don't crank it for at least a minute.
There are procedures to reset the anti-theft online - - if you do a search for resetting anti-theft F150 you can read them.

95 hundai accent wont start

The wiring diagrams for the 95 Accent do not show any OEM (original equipment manufacture) 'anti-theft' systems.... this does not preclude the possibility that an After Market system was installed.
