I bought two new key fobs off of amazon to program to my 4runner. The first time following the directions, my truck entered programming mode. From there I went on to program the remote, however before I checked to make sure it was working I didn't close the door. It cycled the locks a couple of times then wouldn't work. From there I haven't been able to get it back into programming mode at all and I've tried multiple times. I've disconnected the battery and tried to erase all previous FOBS. Nothing will work. I follow the directions and the locks won't auto cycle again so that I can begin the programming of the remote. Does anyone have any idea of what I can do to try to resolve this issue? Again I have read all other threads I could find and haven't found anything to work yet

I saw some suggestions here that the answer is to manually move the locks, but I'm not clear if it's just the driver's side door lock that needs to be manually moved or all of them?

Also saw a suggestion to use the key on the outside of the driver's door, but my key doesn't lock the driver's door (only the passenger door).

I'm sort of SOL here. My only other option is heading to the dealer but I'm not sure if they have another way of programming the fob outside of this method.

Anyone found a solution to this?

I tried holding both lock/unlock for between 1-4 seconds, and then pressing either the lock or unlock for an additional 1-4 seconds. I tried many variations on this but could not get the Toyota fobs to connect. Any thoughts? Part number is bab237131-056. I’ve read all the programming versions and none seem to work. But the truck does go into pairing mode, now.
