95' alarm system

[silver cobra]

Does anyone own a 1995 Toyota 4Runner, drop-tailgate, 4WD?

I need to know how the alarm system works. I looked in the manual but it didn't say anything about the alarm system.

How do you turn it on in the first place?

Once I have it on, how does it get set off and can I use my keys to unlock and lock the doors instead of the button things?

I know where the switch is, but I can't seem to get it to come on. If there is a link to a site that may tell about it PLEASE put it on here. I took about an hour and a half surfing the web trying to find something about the alarm system but found nothing.

So if you have a 95' 4Runner, a similar one, or know something about the alarm systems any advice would be helpful. I just put a $600 sound system in it and want a little bit of safety. Thx,

Well, since no one knows about the history of 4Runners I did some research and found out that Toyota didn't put factory alarm systems in their 4Runners until 1996. My system was put in by a used car dealer. Since NOONE knew that apparently, now you know.

My parents 95 had a factory alarm in it .... or at least it looked like a factory alarm. I could swear it was mentioned in the instruction book somewhere ... so, I am pretty certain it was factory. Whatever it was, it was on the car when they bought it brand new.

well, maybe they did make factory alarms in 95. There is not anything, that I could find, online about them if they did. I thought mine was factory installed when I got it because it looks like it came with the 4Runner, but nothing was mentioned about it in the manual. Mine was owned for about 2 years before I bought it so I don't really know what may have been put in it. I figured out have to work it, how to program both the system and the key thing now so I guess I am set. :rocker:
