Faulty Alarm System Bypassed, Toyota Previa Starts Now

[Seattlecarnut]

That's why I've never liked automatic (power) door locks. I prefer to have some manual control when I want to get in and out of the car.

[casswat]

I'm thinking the same is happening with my Astro van. I had a K5 Blazer and a Sedan deville that this happened in. Only a buddy of mine took care of it for me. Yup, it's either this or a bad ignition switch itself. Now that I have some time, I'm gonna get on that. Thanks Brother.

[ksilverone]

thanks daniel i gonna do this to my van tomorow

[Twinrb26]

Bunch of dumb asses that shit causes fires do it right.... I feel bad for her when that thing goes up in flames... Shity mechanic..

[2100Awesome]

see now the problem with toyota isnt age. it really is that the person who previously owned did do the regular maintenance for the car aka they didnt take care of it. my dad, he has a 1991 and its in great condition except for the excessive shaking. he know how to take care of his car. this, is just the previous owner's fault for the previa's condition.

[brettspointofview]

Well Do you still have the Previa?? If you do than what happened to it??

[nubian05girl]

Hi! this video was so helpful. I have a 96 Toyota Camry and I think its the same problem. The lights come on, the horn works, windows, but the alarm keeps sounding and the car won't start. Is the black box in a Camry located in the same place as in your video? I would appreciate any help! Thanks and keep up the good work!

DO NOT JUMP THE YELLOW WIRE TO OTHERS IN THE HARNESS! Yellow is a connection to the ignition switched on. If that is jumped to other wires you will short other things out. There is a Orange wire off of the alarm the gives a ground when armed which is connected to a starter disable relay usually close to the ignition switch. If you just cut the orange wire the van would have started...

[andyiscoolie]

what if u want the alarm?

[islanduh]

this so called mechanic should shoot himself....what an idiot....lol

[asociality0wanted]

did you fart at 1:46?

i hear something on 1:46 that sounds like a fart!

[Aragon159]

i heard that too LOL

[maxboya]

@asociality0wanted hahhahahahahahahhahahahaahaha i heard it

[whitestalkervan33]

These are Audiovox Car Alarmas and the company will not help you at all, they blame the car, I had mine taken out and now the car runs fine, people should file complaints about this alarm with the National Highway Safety Administration, they have a form to fill out, these things will cause your car to stall in traffic-not safe

[marshall0792]

was that a viper alarm? because i have heard many stories of older viper alarms having problems, especially if they were installed improbably. and not to mention aftermarket remote start systems keeping the vehicle to start

[whitestalkervan33]

Audiovox on mine and it is dangerous

[StevenChandlerArtist]

My 95 Previa alarm is going haywire, i'm gonna try this tomorrow, thanks for posting this vid, the Previa has been a very reliable car, mine has close to 300 thousand, i didn't even know it had an alarm until a few weeks ago, who needs it?

[yosefwanger]

where in missori do you live

[Ajaces]

Great Job Daniel.

[partyfriek]

so doues the alarm still work??? cause u were told to get it started

[chorstma44]

My 2004 mercury is having problems that might relate to the box in that car. The alarm randomly goes off whenever it wants to for no reason. Do you know if it is the alarm system itself or maybe the battery in the remote went bad or something but I have to unhook the battery after every use and it is really getting annoying. Any thoughts?

[DanielJaegerFilms]

I would say that it is the alarm box for sure. I don't think the battery in your remote would have gone bad that soon. I would say it's a faulty alarm system, just like this van had. Ugh! Alarm Systems!

[chorstma44]

Ok. Thanks!

[asox11]

man i love all the old previa eggs! lol

[bovfrk7]

@DanielJaegerFilms

So what was the wire going to? not the yellow the other one, what circuit did u complete?

[orbitofdoom16]

Just chipping my point in, but Most of our Fords have the same problem, The dealer fixed our vic, and I pulled the fuse on my truck

[wizard101emily]

@chorstma44 maybe its spirit 

[logume1881]

My friend's mom had one of these back in the day. We called it the Pod

[krankiev]

typical toyota

[GtotheC88]

u should have done your friend a favor and pushed it off a cliff with your excursion

[wizard101emily]

@GtotheC88 u are

[GtotheC88]

@wizard101emily u are bitch

[wizard101emily]

@wizard101emily i no u are

[naterade21]

put a tach in it

[BRENTHENRY1989]

lol lol now no Toyota Previa is safe! thieves now have knowledge on how to bypass the security system! lol i am sure there these vans aren't a hot item, but overall good work, most people would just take it to the dealer, and pay who knows how much to just get it running, luckily it was one wire! simple fix, that door buzzer is sure annoying, yank the buzzer box, no more noise! lol, i guess you could call this a Toyota COE (Cab Over Engine) ;) lol lol great repair video Daniel, 5 *****

[offroader94]

what a piece of shit

[fargof06]

Ours had 230k with no major problems, definitely not shit.

[offroader94]

i was just joking but i don't really like the way those vans look

[mcelrec]

Now why would you want some security on that POS ?

[BRENTHENRY1989]

didn't you know these Toyota Previa Jelly bean vans are one hot item, lol lol lol lol i know what ya mean, why was security even suggested for this van, even when new? i have no idea, you would never catch me driving one, i bet there a pain to work on, considering the engine is in such a convenient location, overall a person just looks at and goes why? why the Jelly bean shape? why would they pick such a nice engine location? just why? one will never know? lol

[FordsSuck95]

Looks like a pain to work on.

[makaveli087]

Your friend? As in someone your age has to drive a Toyota Previa? Sweet Mercy. That poor kid.

These were horrendous to work on. Luckily only a handful of people weren't actually embarassed to drive them in public. They had SuperCharged AWD versions of these, that were about as common as the regular ones at my dealership. I always found that hilarious. "SuperCharged AWD Mini Van!" Wicked.

[rebel4055]

Ill drive any car I dont care if its pink as long as it gets me to point a to point b

[BRENTHENRY1989]

yeah i feel sorry for that girl, poor kid, i would hate to have to drive a Jelly Bean around, and from the convenient engine location, it looks fun to work on!, i always think of the 1996 movie "Car Pool" when i see a Previa lol lol

[makaveli087]

hahah Car Pool with Tom Arnold you're talkin about? Man, I'm gonna have to download that now that you've brought it up. That was a Previa in that wasnt it. Thats funny. Unbeliavable they'd even allow a Toyota in a major motion picture.

[Xx69roadrunnerxX]

Jelly bean! you had me laughing!

Id ranther walk my ass around than drive that!

Toyota Land Crusie=awesome.....Toyota whatever the fuck that is= not so much...lol

[cambigfoot88]

my mini van did that

[6030diesel]

thats good for that vehical my dad had a 99 chevy pickup special ordered it witheverything he wanted on it they put on this damn securtiy thing. so if the gas cap wasnt tightend so it clicked the engine wouldnt start. sometimes the light come on while driving locked the doors and killed the engine. of course you could push on the little lever to unlock it and get out. even GM couldnt figure it out it had something to do with the BIG computer that run the engine too i hate securitythingsonvehical

[NFSGamerUSA]

My aunt had a '88 Supra with the same problem. I'm not sure if it was bought (new) installed or not , but if it was the same as with this Previa, it sounds like it's a factory or dealer installed aftermarket alarm if the dealer is able to replace it. Anyway, I remember she was told that it couldn't be run without the system (which I recall being much more expensive; greedy dealers...), so my uncle bought a new Accord. This was around ten years ago and some guy eventually begged enough to buy it.

[yamahonkawazuki]

Nice work. however it also shows a thief how to bypass it. course ive yet to see a smart thief so all is good

[diymania]

Now does he accept loosing all the security ?

[DanielJaegerFilms]

Yes, he said he wanted to remove it anyway. The locks still work, but the theft siren is disabled. Besides, who would steal a 1994 vehicle like that? :)

[diymania]

ppl steal everything these days.

[DanielJaegerFilms]

True.

[Bennett14ify]

@DanielJaegerFilms well...desperation uk? i think he shooda bought a new box thingy
