Installed new radio-- truck locked down

[jrg24]

Hi all. First time 4 runner owner and first post. I tried to search but I was not able to find what I was looking for (probably using wrong search terms?)

Anyway, I was going to install an aftermarket radio today but Best Buy sold me the wrong harness. I tried leaving the radio out until tomorrow when I can get a new harness but the horn started blaring. I unhooked the battery again and put the original radio back in. As I was hooking the battery back up the horn briefly started going off until I tightened it all the way down. But now the truck will not start. All the accessories work but when I try to lock the doors it pops the locks back up. I am assuming i triggered the anti theft somehow. Does anyone know how to fix this?

ive got a 96, on the kick panel mine has a switch for the alarm, not sure if yours does (not factory) but what you should do is get inside the car, close all the doors. hit the lock button on the driver side lock button (not the lever, but the actual button by the window up and down buttons) then unlock it and open the door. that should do it so you can start it. make sure all the doors are closed when you lock it.

Thanks. I read about the little switch but I didnt see it at first. Once i found it I was good to go. Thanks!
