1999 - Programing a door lock/unlock remote

[Woody Williams]

Try this again.


I lost one facory remote and destroyed the other. I went cheap ($15.10) and bought one off of eBay. The directions include pressing a button or sticking a paper clip in the hole on the side of the ECU. According to Toyota and a poster here the ECU (Body) is part of the fuse box. I can get to the fuse box, but I certainly cant find the ECU part nor the button/hole to press.

I'm not the most mechanically inclined and am super wary of dropping the fuse box with all that wiring.

Can anyone tell me exactly where this button or pin hole is at?

I have tried the door lock and unlock method repeatedly posted earlier here and have had no luck. I can get the locks to cycle after removing my key that should indicate I have the ECU in program mode, but I still cant get the remote programmed.

I appreciate any help....except going to the Toyota dealership who wants an arm and a leg for their remotes and programming..

TIA...

I contacted the seller and it seems that they sent me a remote for a "dealer installed lock/unlock." Mine is factory installed.

I am in the process of getting the right remote now.. a tad more expensive though..

To access the ECU, you have to remove the glove box and you will see it sitting under the dash.
